However, during the match, the India A team was accused of tampering with the ball. According to officials, the players of India A tampered with the ball to put pressure against the hosts, due to which its shape also changed. Now Cricket Australia has confirmed that they do not have any evidence that the ball has been tampered with and also the India A team has nothing to do with this matter.
The India A team was unhappy with the umpire’s decision to change the ball when the Australia A team had almost won the match. Wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan also kept talking to the field umpire about this matter.
A source from the India A team told The Indian Express, ‘Our players did not tamper with the ball. There were 3 marks on the ball when it was changed. It looked like it was hit by a nail. Our players have nothing to do with this and they told the same thing to the umpire.’
The former player also put his side on this matter
Former player Ian Healy put his side on this matter and told Senq, ‘When you see that the team is complaining to change the ball, then you also feel something is wrong. India A wanted to put pressure on the Australia A team by doing a reverse swing. The target was not very big and the hosts were also far ahead in the match.
The host batsmen really batted brilliantly and played an important role in their team’s victory. I am very happy with their performance.’
