The World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and New Zealand was marred by racism controversy on the fifth day after the International Cricket Council (ICC) had to tell security to evict two spectators for abusing New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor.
"Just to let you know, two individuals have been identified and removed from the venue for their conduct. Thanks for taking the time to contact @ajarrodkimber and I, we really don`t stand for that sort of behaviour in cricket," tweeted Claire Furlong, ICC General Manager -- Marketing and Communications, in response to a complaint by a TV viewer, Dominic da Souza.
