"As a ways as I used to be concerned, we'd never tried to consult with the dressing room previously and although he mentioned he'd brought those earlier events to the notice of the umpires, I can say categorically that we have been never spoken to by either those umpires or event referee Chris Broad about the sort of breaches in protocol.

There would have been a variety of examples that may have been released of Indian players attractive with me and my team, similar to once they have been repeatedly in the ears of Matt Renshaw when he resumed his first innings in Pune having had to retire ill on account of diarrhea. Ian Gould asked Matthew and Ravindra to cut it out in Dharamsala and that used to be the place it ended. So to rake it up in the best way that it used to be benefited no-one," Smith wrote in his e-book.
