South African cricket captain Faf du Plessis has been
charged for breaching Article 2.2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct, according to an
ICC statement.
This is after television footage showing him applying what
seemed to be saliva and later identified as an artificial substance to the ball
during the fourth day’s play in the second Test in Hobart.
The charge has been laid by the ICC chief David Richardson
and relates to changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3.
Du Plessis has pleaded not guilty to the charge and the
matter will now be heard by Andy Pycroft of the elite panel of ICC match
referees.
