Cricket Australia has launched an investigation into the allegations. The ICC has announced an investigation into the incident.
For two days in a row at the New Years Test, Indian cricketers have been accused of such behavior by spectators. On the third day, Saturday, Siraj and Jaspreet Bumrah and some others were victims of racism. The management of the Indian team subsequently informed officials about the matter.
Siraj complained directly during the game the next day. The incident occurred early Sunday in the seventh final of the Australian innings. Siraj was fielding on the thin leg then. Quite annoying, he first told his teammates. He and India’s captain Ajinkya Rahane were seen talking to on-field referees Paul Rifle and Paul Wilson.

The referees then headed to the front of the gallery with the security guards. The police also entered to identify the accused. Shortly after, NSW police escorted some suspicious spectators out of the stadium. Between all this, the game pauses for about 10 minutes.
The NSW police are investigating the whole matter. But Shawn Carroll, head of CA’s security department, said both the police and the Australian board had launched an investigation. He apologized to the Indian team for the entire incident.
“The abuse of cricketers by spectators is not acceptable. Thanks to the Indian team for cautiously reporting the incident today. Our investigation is already underway. “
At the end of the day, Australia’s head coach Justin Langer condemned the behavior of the spectators.
“We see incidents of this type in different parts of the world. It is very sad to see this also happen in Australia. The series passed with great enthusiasm, there was a great cricket. But it’s disappointing to see the beauty of cricket ruined by what we heard today and last night. “
After the first two games of the four-round series, the two teams are now tied 1-1. To win the third round, the visitors needed 309 races on the final day and the hosts took 6 wickets.
