ICC statement in relation to second Test between India and Australia

Update:

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday decided not to take any action against Australian captain Steve Smith or his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli as a follow-up to the issue related to Smith seeking advice from the Australian dressing room after being adjudged LBW on the 4th day of the 2nd Test in Bengaluru on Tuesday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), however, was not happy with the decision and decided to appeal on Thursday.

Unhappy with the decision, the BCCI will now appeal the decision on Thursday. The incident had been mentioned in the captain and coach's report after the match. Once the appeal is lodged, the umpires will be asked to file their report, following which the ICC will decide on hearing the appeal. The Indian team management had written to ICC match referee Chris Broad seeking a decision from the world cricket body.

Match referee Chris Broad has to respond to the concerns raised by the Indian team within 48 hours.
