Cricket Update: India captains Wants Steve Smith To Be Banned

India Captains wants ICC to enquire on DRS controversy.

Captains have called on ICC to investigate Australia captain Steve Smith surrounded allegations his team breached the rules of the game in order to use review (DRS) or not in the second test.

Virat Kohli Indian Skipper accused Smith of 'crossing the line' on day four of the Bangalore match on Tuesday when he was given out lbw and looked towards the players' area in the stands when deciding whether to review the verdict using the Decision Review System.

"It had been a one-off incident caused by a "brain fade" said Smith, but Kohli countered that it was not the only time it had happened and that he had complained to the match officials.

Sourav Ganguly, demanded ICC "take action".

"Action must be taken according to rules and laws of the game. If it's a ban it should be a ban because if the umpires themselves saw Smith infringing on DRS rules then they must report and take action. The umpires and Match referee must ensure this doesn't happen in future,".

Sunil Gavaskar asked International Cricket Council to investigate.

"I don't think that was in the spirit of the game. We have to see what the ICC and match referee do,"

"I have not seen other earlier incidents but I saw it clearly when Smith did that today, he was clearly gesturing to the dressing room."

Rules:

Players are not allowed to seek direction apart from conferring with the non-striker.
