BCCI requests ICC to appeal Anderson verdict

New Delhi: The ICC has confirmed that it has received a request from the BCCI to appeal against Gordon Lewis' decision on the Ravindra Jadeja-James Anderson spat. The game's governing body will now consider the written report submitted by Lewis that found both the players not guilty in the hearing.

As per the ICC Code of Conduct, when the person in question has been acquitted of all charges, the right of appeal rests only with the chief executive of the ICC. That decision now falls upon Richardson, who must take a call as to whether to file an appeal or not within five days. Richardson has until August 10 to appeal to the ICC; if he does, a three-member panel will be formed within 48 hours of the said appeal, an ICC statement said.

Anderson had on Friday been ruled not guilty by retired Australian judge Lewis of the Level 3 offence the touring Indian cricket team had charged him with. In his verdict, Lewis stated that a lack of video evidence against Anderson and a biased testimony had forced him to turn down India's claim that the fast bowler had pushed Jadeja during the first Test at Trent Bridgein early July. He had also overturned the 50% match fee fine imposed on Jadeja by David Boon, the match referee, for his role in the confrontation.

BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel confirmed that the board had requested the ICC to file an appeal. "What we have done is we've written a letter to the ICC saying we are not happy with the verdict," he was quoted as saying by Reuters. "We don't have a right to appeal in this case."

Anderson and Jadeja were involved in a heated confrontation during the lunch interval of the second day's play at Trent Bridge, which led to accusations of the England bowler physically and verbally assaulting the Indian allrounder. Anderson exchanged words with both Jadeja and India captain MS Dhoni as they left the field and then the row escalated in the pavilion corridor. The touring Indian team has alleged that Anderson pushed and abused Jadeja, while England have also counter-charged the latter. India are adamant that Anderson instigated the physical clash but the home team counters that Jadeja was just as aggressive and had to be pulled away by his captain.

Although there was no official confirmation from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the Indian team management is unhappy with unconfirmed reports that there is no video evidence available of the alleged altercation between Anderson and Jadeja despite the fact that a camera had been installed outside the dressing rooms at Trent Bridge.
