The trio is found to have violated Article 2.3.1, a Level 3 offence, which relates to "conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game".

If any of the three plead not guilty, then the ICC, as per Article 5.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct, will appoint a Judicial Commissioner from its Code of Conduct Commission to determine the matter.
All Level 3 breaches carry an imposition of between four and eight suspension points.
On a related not, the second Test between West Indies and Sri Lanka ended in a draw. The two sides will play their third and final match from June 23 at the Kensington Oval Barbados. (ANI)
