England fast bowler James Anderson has been
charged under Level 3 of the ICC Code of Conduct
for Players and Player Support Personnel by
India team manager Sunil Dev following an alleged
incident that took place on the second day of the
first cricket Test at Trent Bridge.
The alleged offence has been reported under Article
2.3.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and
Player Support Personnel, which states: “Where the
facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or
clearly covered by any of the above offences,
conduct that either: (a) is contrary to the spirit of the
game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute”.
Anderson has been charged for allegedly abusing
and pushing Ravindra Jadeja immediately after they
left the field for lunch on Thursday. It is alleged that
this was a continuation of a verbal altercation
between Anderson and Jadeja as they were walking
from the field.
Level 3 charges are referred to a Judicial
Commissioner for adjudication. As such, where
required under Article 5.2 of the ICC Code of
Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel,
the ICC will appoint a Judicial Commissioner who
will hold a hearing as soon as reasonably
practicable. These details will be announced in due
course. Read. full article here
