Ball Tampering Charges Against R Ashwin

Indian cricketer R Ashwin has been accused of ball tampering during a match in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). The Madurai Panthers have lodged a formal complaint against Ashwin and his team regarding this incident that took place on June 14. In light of these allegations, TNPL officials have requested the Madurai Panthers to present their evidence.


The franchise claims in their official complaint that the Dindigul Dragons used chemically treated towels to alter the ball's weight. They further alleged that the ball emitted a metallic sound upon impact, indicating tampering.



Prasanna, a TNPL official, stated, "We have acknowledged the complaint, although it should have been filed within 24 hours post-match. We are still considering it and have requested proof of their claims. An independent committee will be formed if the allegations hold any truth. It is inappropriate to make such claims without adequate evidence, and if no proof is provided, Madurai will face appropriate penalties."


Madurai Panthers' COO S Mahesh detailed in a letter to TNPL authorities, "A serious incident of ball tampering occurred in our recent match against Dindigul Dragons. Despite multiple warnings, the Dindigul team continued to tamper with the ball using towels that seemed chemically treated."
