England seamer James Anderson has been charged by the International Cricket Council over an alleged confrontation with India’s Ravindra Jadeja during the drawn first Test at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge last week, it was announced Tuesday.
The ICC said Anderson was charged with allegedly abusing and pushing Jadeja after they left the field for lunch on Thursday’s second day when the Indian was batting.
The global governing body’s statement added that Anderson faced a Level Three charge under its code of conduct.
Players found guilty of a Level Three offence can be banned for between two to four Tests or four to eight one-day internationals.
