Inzamam-ul-Haq accuses India of tampering with the ball against Australia

India's convincing 26-run victory over Australia in the T20 World Cup Super Eight match on Monday has soured when Inzamam-ul-Haq leveled accusations of ball-tampering against Rohit Sharma and his group.

This resulted in India's qualification for the semi-final. The former captain of Pakistan, Inzamam, asserts that during Australia's innings, India's Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm fast, was able to produce reverse-swing because of anything done to the ball.

With a 3/37, Arshdeep was the best bowler for India. In the opening over of the innings, he removed David Warner, and in the eighteenth over, he removed Tim David and Matthew Wade.

As Arshdeep shown his mettle in his second stint of two overs, however, Inzamam was uneasy and asked the authorities to 'keep their eyes open.'

Salim Malik, Inzamam's erstwhile teammate, also charged the International Cricket Council (ICC) of "keeping their eyes shut" on some teams at the same talk show. 

"You have to acknowledge that the ball was swinging in the opposite direction when Arshdeep Singh was delivering the fifteenth over. Is it not too soon to see the new ball reversing? By the 12th or 13th over, the ball was ready to reverse. Umpires ought to be vigilant.

We've done some serious work on the ball if Arshdeep Singh can reverse swing it, given our knowledge of the technique," Inzamam stated during the 'World Cup Hungama' Show on Pakistan's 24 News channel.

Inzamam continued by claiming that some "serious work" had been done to the ball during the India-Australia match, and that a lot more noise would have been made had a Pakistani bowler discovered reverse swing at this early stage.

"This would have been a major problem (shor mach jaata) if Pakistani bowlers had been reversing swinging the ball. We are quite familiar with reverse swing, so if Arshdeep can start reversing the ball in the fifteenth (16th) over, it indicates that significant work has already been done," he said.
