India withdraw Smith protest as boards make peace in DRS row

BENGALURU: India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match.
