Ishan Kishan warned for arguing with umpire amid ball-tampering allegations

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy hasn't even started and a big controversy has erupted. India A team, already on the tour of Australia for three unofficial Tests, has been accused of 'ball tampering' during the practice match against Australia A. Ahead of the start of the day's play on Sunday, the match officials informed India A players that the ball has been changed as it was tampered with. Umpire Shawn Craig brough the development to Indian players' notice during the first unofficial Test. He said: "When you scratch it, we change the ball. No more discussion, let's play."

Indian players were unimpressed with the development and informed the same to the umpire. In response, Craig said as per Indian Express, "No more discussion; let's play. This is not a discussion."

When the players asked if they would be handed a fresh ball, the umpire said: "You're playing with that ball."
