Former Australia batsman and current board director of Cricket New South Wales, Ed Cowan, has added fuel to the ball-switch controversy that unfolded on the final day of the first unofficial Test between India 'A' and Australia 'A' in Mackay, saying that an exception can't be created for India and "you can't choose when integrity matters."
The Indian players expressed dissatisfaction when they received a replacement ball on the match's final morning, after the previous ball used was found to have scratches on it.
