While an official announcement has yet to be handed down, Code Sports has reported the duo are set to be punished by the International Cricket Council.

The report states both men are likely to be fined or severely reprimanded rather than suspended due to their good records.

The tensions between the pair were eased on the third and final day of play, with Head calling for everyone to move on, while Josh Hazlewood has since told reporters he enjoys Siraj’s intensity.

“He’s great. I really enjoyed my time at RCB with Siraj. He’s probably the leader of the attack there to a degree,” Hazlewood said.

“He’s another one who’s a bit like Virat, very passionate, goes with the flow of the game, gets the crowd up, all that sort of stuff. Bowls some serious spells in the IPL in the last few years for sure. He’s just a good character and it’s good to see sometimes.”

The fiery incident unfolded on Day 2 of the second Test after Head had battered the Indian bowling attack to all parts of Adelaide Oval.

The frustration was clear from the Indians as Head batted Australia to a healthy lead in a series-levelling display.

After Head smoked Siraj for a six over square leg the ball before, a yorker knocked over the Aussie’s castle, with the Indian quick giving Head a heated send off.

Head didn’t take a backwards step with Siraj having some choice words and hand signals to send the South Australian on his way.

Head also threw a few words of his own back at Siraj and the crowd erupted when it saw the send-off on the big screen.

Siraj was heavily booed by the Adelaide crowd with Kerry O’Keeffe even labelling him “the villain”.

After stumps, Head took parting shot at Siraj.

“I said ‘well bowled’ but he thought otherwise and pointed me to the sheds,” Head said.

“He got a little bite back from me.

“Slightly disappointed with the way that transpired with a couple of the past innings but it is what it is. If that’s how they want to represent themselves, then so be it.”

Cricket reporter Bharat Sundaresan confirmed on X that some of Head’s words to Siraj included the Aussie No. 5 saying: “F**k you c***t”.

Sundaresan said “Travis did take responsibility” for the comment “during his press conference & said he was disappointed with himself”.

“I don’t want to give it too much air time but I feel like the way I play the game, I would have liked a better reaction,” Head said.

“I was surprised at the reaction in terms of situation of the game and the lead up. There was no confrontation leading up to him and I felt like it was probably, yeah, a little bit far at the time, and that’s why I’m disappointed in the reaction that I gave back.

“But I’m also going to stand up for myself. I’d like to think in our team that we wouldn’t do that. It’s not how I’d like to play the game, and I feel like my teammates are the same. And if I had seen that in that circumstances, I’d probably call it out, which I did.”

Siraj however responded on Indian broadcaster Star Sports, saying Head abused him and claiming he didn’t say anything to the Aussie batter.

“It was a great battle going on (with Head) and he batted really well. When you get hit for a six on a good ball, it fires you up differently,” Siraj told Star Sports Hindi.

“And when I got him bowled, I only celebrated and he abused me and you saw that on TV too. I only celebrated at the start, I didn’t say anything to him.

“What he said in the press conference wasn’t right, it’s a lie that he only said ‘well bowled’ to me. It’s there for everyone to see that that’s not what he said to me.

“We respect everyone, it’s not like we disrespect other players. I respect everybody because cricket is a gentleman’s game, but what he did wasn’t right. I didn’t like it at all.”

The third Test between Australia and India will commence on December 14 in Brisbane.
