Henry Nicholls of Canterbury was reported for alleged ball-tampering during a Plunket Shield match against Auckland. The incident took place at the Hagley Oval, when Canterbury were hosting Auckland for a Plunket Shield clash. Video footage allegedly revealed Nicholls scraping the ball against the rim of the helmet before these overs. Derek Walker and Kim Cotton, the umpires, later reported Nicholls for allegedly breaching NZC’s code of conduct, who have raised this with a first-class commissioner. Here is the Henry Nicholls rubbing the ball on the helmet incident.
