Former England cricketer Stuart Broad has expressed concern over the ICC approval on Team India’s Pacer Mohammad Sirj for his aggressive festival during the third Test. Broad said that while Siraj was fined 15% of his match fee for the Act, no action was taken against Indian captain Shubman Gill.
Siraj, who has taken four wickets at Lord’s, was punished for dissolving Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct. It is “related to using language, functions or gestures that are inequality or who can provoke an aggressive response from a batsman on his dismissal during an international match.”
