Nathan Lyon backs Mohammad Siraj, India
Brisbane, January 13: Australia spinner Nathan Lyon on Wednesday (January 13) said there is no room for racial abuse in sport, and Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj has set the new standard for calling out abuse of any form. The Indian team had lodged an official complaint after the crowd at the SCG racially abused pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj over the second and third day of the Sydney Test. There is no room for any racial sledges or any abuse in any type. People think they are being funny, but it can affect people in different ways. For me, cricket is the sport for all and there is no room for it at all, Lyon said in a virtual press conference.
