AUS vs IND: Indian Fan Complains Of Racism At Sydney Cricket Ground

By IANS News January 16, 2021 • 14:25 PM View: 1166

Even as authorities at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) are investigating reports from the Indian team that pace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were subjected to racist comments, they have received another complaint from an Indian fan who alleged that a security officer on duty at the SCG told him to "go back to where you belong".

Krishna Kumar, who lives in Sydney, has lodged an official complaint saying he was targeted after attempting to bring four banners into the ground on the fifth day on Monday. The banners had anti-racism messages like "Rivalry is good, racism is not", "No racism mate", "Brown inclusion matters", and "Cricket Australia - more diversity please".
