(Reuters) - Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head have been slapped with demerit points for their bust-up in the second test between India and Australia while the Indian fast bowler was also fined 20% of his match fee, the International Cricket Council said on Monday.

The duo had a fiery exchange after Siraj dismissed Australia batter Head in the pink ball test in Adelaide, which Australia won by 10 wickets to level the five-match series 1-1 at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
