A controversy surrounding Ravindra Jadeja's alleged Hindi-only press conference led to the cancellation of a friendly cricket match between Indian and Australian journalists in Melbourne. Scheduled for Sunday at Junction Oval, the match was called off after some members of Team India’s backroom staff and Indian media boycotted the event. Australian media claimed Jadeja refused to answer questions in English, but Indian journalists and the team's media manager denied this, asserting Jadeja only responded to Hindi queries from traveling reporters. Cricket Australia had organized the fixture, which was scrapped due to insufficient players following the boycott.
