There was no dearth of controversies when it comes to the recently-concluded Ashes 2023 series between England and Australia. The final match of the closely-contested series was no different as questions were asked about the ball-change that Australia believes proved to be crucial in tilting the match in England's favour.

Australian ex-cricketers Ricky Ponting and Glenn McGrath were not pleased with the incident and both legends made their feelings clear regarding the topic.
