‘I got worried for Siraj’: Ricky Ponting on the Travis Head-Mohammed Siraj incident in Adelaide
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes a “misinterpretation” fuelled the on-field spat between Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj during the Adelaide Test. After Siraj dismissed Head, a verbal exchange ensued, leading to penalties for both players. Ponting attributed Siraj’s reaction to the pressure of the game, while expressing concern over the bowler’s send-off.
