Australia A defeated India A by 7 wickets in the first unofficial Test match played at Mackay. In the first unofficial test match, all the players from Australia A performed well and played an important role in the victory of their team.

However, during the match, the India A team was accused of tampering with the ball. According to officials, India A players tampered with the ball to create 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 were 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 regarding this matter.

A source from the India A team told The Indian Express, ‘Our players did not tamper with the ball in any way. There were 3 marks on the ball when it was changed. Looking at it, it seemed as if it had been hit by a nail. Our players have nothing to do with it and they told the same thing to the umpire also.

The former player also presented his side regarding this matter.

Former player Ian Healy gave his side on this matter and told Senq that, ‘When you see that the team is complaining about changing the ball then you also feel something is wrong. India A wanted to put pressure on Australia A team by doing reverse swing. The target was not very big and the hosts were also well ahead in the match.

The host batsmen batted really well and played an important role in their team’s victory. I am very happy with his performance.
