    Nathan Lyon charged by ICC for ABD's send-off

    Nathan Lyon charged by ICC for ABD's send-off

    What's the story

    Australian ace spinner Nathan Lyon has been booked by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his inappropriate send-off of AB de Villiers on Sunday.

    AB de Villiers was run out and after dislodging the bails, Lyon threw the ball onto the chest of ABD, when he dived to make his ground.

    The ICC decided not to take the incident lightly.

    Level 1 breach

    Lyon might be handed two demerit points

    The incident was reviewed by the match referee Jeff Crowe and the Australian spinner is set to be charged with a Level 1 breach, which is conduct contrary to the spirit of cricket.

    He is expected to be fined upto 50% of his match fee and might also be awarded two demerit points.

    Four demerit points would result in Lyon missing a game.

    Warner gets lucky

    Lyon apologised to ABD for the shameful act

    Cricket Australia's spokesperson claims Lyon is sorry about his behaviour and had contacted AB de Villiers overnight to apologise.

    Lyon has also accepted the charge hence no hearing will be required.

    However, what is surprising is that David Warner was not charged by the ICC for his over the top celebration of ABD's run out.

    How did he get away with this?
