The Indian cricket board has sent a mail to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to go in appeal against the verdict that pronounced England pacer James Anderson "not guilty" in the altercation with Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja during the Trent Bridge Test. Miffed by the verdict pronounced by ICC-appointed judicial commissioner Gordon Lewis which let off Anderson after he heard the complaint lodged by the Indian team against the pacer for his altercation with Jadeja, during the openingTest of the five-game series, BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel shot off the mail to ICC CEO David Richardson late last night. BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told this PTI today. He said the BCCI itself, cannot appeal against the verdict, only the ICC can and hence he has written the letter to Richardson. Sanjay Patel said that he was confident that a decision would be taken within the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, Richardson, who was on leave, has resumed his duties at the ICC headquarters in Dubai and has received the written copy of the verdict by Lewis and is learnt to have consulted his legal team on the matter. The latest that he can appeal to ICC is August 10 after which a three-member panel would be formed within 48hours. In case Richardson appeals, a three-member panel will be formed from the members of the ICC Code of Ethics committee. The three-member panel might take upto 30 days (as per ICC constitution) to give a verdict which would allow Anderson to play the entire Test series.
