    3rd Test: Little Shoulder Touch Between Siraj And Duckett Was Entirely Accidental, Says Atherton

    On Mohammed Siraj: On Mohammed Siraj being fined for his send-off to opener Ben Duckett during the ongoing third Test at Lord’s, former England captain Michael Atherton said match referee Richie Richardson was right in not punishing the pacer for a shoulder barge due to it being entirely accidental.

    On Monday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said Siraj was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for his aggressive celebration in Duckett's face after dismissing him in the sixth over of day four’s play on Sunday.

    Siraj was also given one demerit point, which is his second offence after receiving a point in December 2024 following an altercation with Australia's left-handed batter Travis Head.
