David Warner caused chaos during Australia's one-day international against India in Melbourne when he clashed with Rohit Sharma during the match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the pair needed to be separated by umpires and other players.
In heated verbal exchange, though, could not be heard on the television feed, but Warner appeared to repeatedly mouth the words 'speak English' towards the Indian batsman.
Warner said on Sky Sports Radio: 'We play hard aggressive cricket but we know what comes with it, sometimes you are going to get fined.
'We've just got to keep trying not to cross that line, because we're all about playing cricket the right way.
'When I went over to say something to him, he sort of said something in their language and I said "speak English" because, if you're going to say something, understand that theoretically I cannot speak Hindi,".
'I did the polite thing and asked him to speak English, therefore he did and I can't repeat what he said.
'I was in the wrong ... I shouldn't have engaged him.'
The clash comes off the back of a four-match Test series between the teams that was filled with tension and bad blood
