The controversy erupted on November 3 during the fourth day at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay, when umpires informed India A that the ball had been changed before the start of play, sparking frustration from the players and a heated exchange caught on the stump mic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The ultimate decision is with CA, isn\u2019t it? I think they have obviously squashed it as fast as they could, given that India is coming out here this summer,\u201d Warner told ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
During the exchange, umpire Shawn Craig was heard saying, \u201cWhen you scratch it, we change the ball. No more discussion, let\u2019s play.\u201d India A\u2019s wicketkeeper, Ishan Kishan, reacted by calling the decision \u201cstupid,\u201d to which Craig responded, reminding Kishan that his comments were on record for dissent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia A went on to win the match, but after the game, Cricket Australia issued a statement clarifying that the ball had been changed due to \u201cdeterioration\u201d and cleared India A of any allegations of ball-tampering. Moreover, despite Craig\u2019s comment on dissent, no disciplinary action was taken against Kishan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wraner went on to suggest that a more transparent approach from CA might have helped, particularly in addressing the decisions made by the umpires and the match referee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
