The International Council (ICC) has appointed His Honour Gordon Lewis AM as Judicial Commissioner to hear the ICC Code of Conduct cases against James Anderson and Ravindra Jadeja.

Anderson has been charged with a Level 3 offence and Jadeja a Level 2 offence following an incident on day two of the first Test between England and India at Trent Bridge.

The preliminary hearing will be held after the Lord's Test has concluded, on 22nd July and will take place via telephone conference call.

Lewis will address any preliminary issues that need to be resolved, set the hearing date and explain the procedure that will follow.

Level 3 offences carry a penalty of between four and eight suspension points while Level 2 offences carry a penalty of either a fine of between 50 and 100 per cent of a player's match fee and/or up to two suspension points.

Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two One-Day Internationals.
