India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee after being found guilty of “conduct contrary to the spirit of the game”, the International Cricket Council announced on Friday.
However, he was not banned and remains free to play in the rest of the ongoing five-Test series with England. Jadeja, 25, was involved in an incident with England seamer James Anderson during the lunch break on the second day of the drawn first Test at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge ground on July 10.
England charged Jadeja with a Level Two offence under the ICC’s code of conduct in retaliation for India bringing a more serious Level Three charge against Anderson for allegedly “abused and pushing” Jadeja.
