"It's All...": Mohammed Siraj Breaks Silence On ICC Punishment For Travis Head Send-Off Row
NDTV
Mohammed Siraj was fined 20 percent of his match fee, as well as handed a demerit point by the ICC, following his spat with Travis Head in the second Test at Adelaide.
Despite a 20 percent match fee fine and widespread criticism regarding his reaction, India pacer Mohammed Siraj seems to have put the incident with Australia's Travis Head behind. Ahead of the third Test in Brisbane (which kickstarts on December 14), Siraj gave a positive reaction to the fine handed to him. Siraj had engaged in a verbal spat with Head during the second Test, after the bowler had given an animated send-off. But now, the dust seems to have settled. When asked about the fine, Siraj responded positively. "Yeah man, it's all good," was Siraj's reaction, as reported by Australian media outlet Sydney Morning Herald.
Siraj dismissed the topic of the fine altogether after he was asked whether he was upset about it.
"I'm going to the gym now," was Siraj's prompt response, without mentioning the fine.
Both Siraj and Head were also handed one demerit point by the International Cricket Council (ICC) following the incident.
