Kohli-Konstas controversy: Physical contact on cricket field is a complete no-no, says CA CEO

Kohli-Konstas controversy: Physical contact on cricket field is a complete no-no, says CA CEO

 


Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley on Friday said there is no place for physical contact on the cricket field following the clash between Indian superstar Virat Kohli and Australian debutant Sam Konstas. The brief confrontation took place after the 10th over of the Australian innings on the opening day of the fourth Test, when the players crossed over. Kohli and Konstas bumped shoulders while walking across the field in the face-off initiated by the traveling star.

Following the incident, Kohli was charged with breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct and accepted the sanctions suggested by match referee Andy Pycroft at the end of the day. He was also fined 20 percent of his match fee.
“It doesn't look great. I mean, you know physical contact on the cricket field is absolutely not possible, so it wasn't great,” Hockley told SEN Radio.

“I clearly think that by accepting the allegation, Virat has taken responsibility,” he added.

Konstas played down the incident, explaining that Kohli had bumped into him by accident, a response that Hockley found remarkably mature for a teenager.
“I actually thought Sam showed maturity beyond his years and was actually very gracious in shaking it off,” Hockley said.
“What it does is it just highlights the intensity of the competition but also how much is at stake in this series, but yeah, it doesn't look great,” he added.

Kohli also received one penalty point from the ICC. When asked whether the penalty was enough, Hockley left this to the referees.

“I think this is for the officials. I have a very experienced panel of officials here and the most important thing is that this kind of Virat has accepted the charge and taken responsibility.”

When asked about the possible reaction if an Australian player was involved, Hockley replied: “That's for the match referee, there's a very clear, very clear code and the referees have to apply that, so you know I think This all happened in the normal way.”
