BCCI files complaint with ICC regarding DRS incident in Bengaluru Test – reports

The Board of Control for Cricket in India [BCCI] have reportedly filed a complaint with the International Cricket Council [ICC] over the DRS controversy on day four of the second Test between India and Australia in Bengaluru.

The complaint has been lodged against Australia captain Steve Smith and Peter Handscomb, who were the two batsmen in the middle when the incident occurred.

This comes a day after the ICC had released a statement in which they said that no charges had been laid against any player and encouraged the two teams to focus on the next Test in Ranchi.

Smith was given out leg-before-wicket [LBW] by umpire Nigel Llong and as is the case with most LBW decisions these days, he went to have a discussion with non-striker Peter Handscomb to check if he could review the umpire’s decision.

Both batsmen seemed to be unsure and after a suggestion from Handscomb, Smith looked at the away dressing room for help which is not allowed, according to the rules.

In the post-match press conference, Smith had called the incident as a “brain fade”, but India captain Virat Kohli suggested that the visitors had used the method previously in the Test.
