ICC allows Jadeja to appeal

Published August 1, 2014

SOUTHAMPTON: India’s Ravindra Jadeja will be allowed to appeal against a fine for his part in an incident involving England’s James Anderson, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Wednesday.

All-rounder Jadeja was fined 50 per cent of his match fee for misconduct in a confrontation with paceman Anderson during the drawn first Test in Nottingham on July 10.

It appeared ICC regulations prevented Jadeja contesting his fine after match referee David Boon, the former Australia batsman, downgraded his offence to Level One under the ICC’s code of conduct.

However, in a brief statement issued on Wednesday from its Dubai headquarters the ICC said Jadeja would be allowed an appeal.

His case will be heard by retired judge Gordon Lewis at the same time the Australian considers the more serious Level Three charge levelled against Anderson by India on Aug 1.
