Nathan Lyon has recently hit out against ICC's decision to keep the audio mics audible during the course of a cricket match, irrespective of any format. 

The ICC announced four new violations into its revised code of conduct on Monday - attempting to gain an unfair advantage (cheating, other than ball-tampering), personal abuse, audible obscenity and disobeying an umpire's instructions.

"I totally agree with the ball-tampering stuff, but to be honest with you, I'm not the biggest fan of the stump mics being turned up," Lyon said on The Unplayable Podcast.

"I'm not saying swearing is OK, but when you're competing at the highest level and under extreme amounts of pressure, sometimes you miss your skill and therefore an expletive may come out," he added.

"But we're going to have young kids watching so as grown men we need to try and pull our heads in and realise that we're massive role models for the game."

Australia are currently playing a T20I tri-series involving Zimbabwe and Pakistan in Zimbabwe. They have won both their matches till now and will face Pakistan next on Thursday. Meanwhile, in a latest development, Cricket Australia has denied to soften the sanctions on the banned trio, which means Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft will have to serve the entire quota of their punishment. While Warner and Smith has been banned for 12 months, Bancroft has been sanctioned for nine months.
