Great Barrier Reef Arena: India A wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been cleared of dissent charge after he had an angry on-field argument with on-field umpire Shawn Craig on day four of the first four-day match in Mackay.
Ahead of the start of day four’s play at the Great Barrier Reef Arena, India A were unhappy with the ball being changed, which sparked talks between the team and Craig. "When you scratch it, we change the ball. No more discussion, let's play, this is not a discussion," Craig was heard saying to India A players via the stump mic.
Kishan asked, "So we have to play with this ball?" Craig confirmed it by saying, "You're playing with that ball." In reply, Kishan said, "That's a very stupid decision." It prompted Craig to say, "Excuse me. You will be on report for dissent. That is very inappropriate behaviour. Because of your actions, we changed the ball."
