Tensions flared during the second Test when Siraj gave an expletive-laden send-off to Head after dismissing him for 140. As Head walked back to the pavilion, the pair exchanged words that were mistaken for expletives. While Travis Head said, “Well bowled,” Siraj mistook it for “Fuck off” and replied with “You fuck off,” which Travis Head mistook for “Nikal BSDK.”
However, the incident led the ICC to take strict action to preserve the Gentleman’s Game of cricket.
Fauxy sources at ICC suggest that the ICC has banned words that may have similar lip movements to “Fuck off.”
The banned words include “well-bowled,” “hats-off,” “pull-off,” “follow-on,” “knock-off,” “flick-off,” “long-off,” and “slow-ball” (often said by Jaiswal).
