BGT: Siraj discusses repercussions following heated confrontation with Head

The incident unfolded when Head was sent back to the pavilion by Siraj after an impressive innings of 140 on Day 2. Siraj's animated celebration towards the dressing room sparked a momentary clash of words. However, tensions dissipated when Siraj joined Head on the field during India's second innings, and the two players buried the hatchet.

He was fined 20 per cent of his match fee for violating Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal."

When asked about the sanction imposed on him, Siraj said, as quoted from The Sydney Morning Herald, "Yeah man, it's all good."

When Siraj was asked if he was upset by the sanction, he said, "I am going to the gym now."

Head was also penalized for breaching Article 2.13 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to the "abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee during an international match."

The series currently stands on level terms at 1-1 after India won convincingly in the series opener in Perth, and Australia bounced back in an emphatic fashion to restore the parity with a 10-wicket triumph.

As the action heads to Brisbane, both teams will be eager to secure a lead before the final two Tests of the series between the fierce rivals.
