The A-match in Mackay took a heated turn when umpires changed the ball on the fourth day, sparking disputes between the teams and complaints about the decision.
Umpire Shawn Craig asserted, 'When you scratch it, we change the ball. No more discussion, let's play,' following the controversy surrounding the ball's condition.
India's wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan was warned for calling the decision 'stupid', highlighting the tensions between players and officials over the ball tampering allegations.
Despite initial confusion, Cricket Australia confirmed no penalties would be issued as there was no footage supporting any misconduct from players regarding the ball's condition.
