Cricket Australia has sent an inquiry report to the ICC. The ICC gave him 14 days to report. The newspaper said, ‘CA is awaiting the final report from the New Southwells Police. He is quite sure that the six spectators fired from the ground on the fourth day of the Sydney Test did not make racial remarks on the players.

Six spectators were evicted by the police. The BCCI had lodged a complaint against the incident. The newspaper said that Cricket Australia questioned several Indian players and also took testimony from the audience.
