Explain on-field spat with Raina: BCCI tells Jadeja

July 08, 2013 09:23

The ugly on-field spat between two Indian cricketers -- Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja -- has prompted the BCCI to take a stern approach towards the incident leading the cricket board to reprimand the latter.

The board has reportedly also asked for a written explanation from Jadeja.

During a match against hosts West Indies in the ongoing tri-series, Jadeja lost his cool apparently after Raina missed two catches off his bowling in the 26th and 32nd over of the Windies innings.

The first chance came in the 26th over when an edge ricocheted off wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik's gloves and went past Raina at slip. The batsman was Kemar Roach.

Later in the 32nd over, Sunil Narine was given a chance off the bowling of Jadeja as both Bhuvneshwar and Raina misjudged a catch at long-on after the southpaw played a lofted shot. Narine followed that with a six.

After the fall of ninth Windies wicket, Jadeja and Raina got involved into a heated argument that forced stand-in captain Virat Kohli to intervene.
