Two Australian cricket fans were ejected from Old Trafford, Manchester during first day's play of the fourth Ashes Test on Wednesday.

According to reports, the travelling fans targeted the England fast bowler and shouted "Jofra show us your passport," obviously referring to his heritage.

The Barbados-born cricketer has emerged as one of the most ferocious fast bowlers in the world and after felling Steve Smith at Lord's, he has become a target of Aussie fans.

According to reports in British media, the fans were asked to leave the Manchester ground.
