Stump-Mic Chatter Over India A 'Ball-Tampering' Row Released. David Warner's Wife Candice Says, "These Umpires Want..."

In a statement, Cricket Australia said that the ball had to be changed "due to deterioration", while both the managers and the captains were informed of the decision before the start of the day's play.

Former Australia opener David Warner has called on Cricket Australia to clarify what happened when the umpires changed the ball during India A's first unofficial Test against Australia A, claiming the governing body "squashed" the matter "as quickly as possible." Warner, whose leadership ban has just been lifted by Cricket Australia, said the matter was done away with given that the senior Indian team is bound for Australia for a five-Test series. The issue emerged on the final day of the four-day game in Mackay last week, when the umpires provided the Indian players with a different ball to use at the start of play.

Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy believes the India A players were up to something with the ball which led to the controversial ball change during day four of their first four-day game against Australia A at Mackay. At the Great Barrier Reef Arena, umpires changed the ball before play began on day four due to a scratch on the ball. On-field umpire Shawn Craig was heard saying via stump mic, "When you scratch it, we change the ball. No more discussion, let's play." Craig also warned wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan about facing sanction related to dissent after saying the ball change was a "very stupid decision". But Cricket Australia said after the game ended in a seven-wicket win that the ball was changed due to deterioration and no action would be taken against anyone.
