Windies player Shannon Gabriel charged by ICC over homophobic slur

The third Test between West Indies and England in St Lucia was marred by a controversy after fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was accused of passing homophobic slurs. The player has been charged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for using improper language during an exchange with England skipper Joe Root. The interaction was picked up by the stump microphones. Here's more about the incident.

I am not in a position to comment: Root

Root declined to comment about the verbal altercation. He was asked about the incident on Tuesday, after England won the final Test and according to The Guardian, Root said, "As a player you feel you have responsibilities to uphold on the field and I stand by what I did. The ICC have to handle things and I am not in a position to comment."
