India tour of England 2014
Indian player Ravindra Jadeja has been charged with a Level 2 offence under the ICC Code of Conduct for his role in the incident involving England bowling spearhead James Anderson on the 2nd day of the Trent Bridge Test. The charge against Jadeja was brought by England team manager in response to India's charging of Anderson with a Level 3 offence.
"It is alleged that after the players entered the pavilion, Jadeja turned suddenly and took steps towards Anderson in an aggressive and threatening manner," the ICC said. Anderson is alleged to have abused and pushed Jadeja.
All Level 2 breaches implies a fine of between 50-100% of the match fee or 2 suspension points. Two suspension points results to a ban of one Test, or two ODIs.
Jadeja was reported under Article 2.2.11, 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."
