Michael Anderson Hearing On August 01
The hearing into the Level 3 charge against England fast bowler James Anderson will be held on August 1 via videoconference, a day after the scheduled end of the third Test against India. The date was decided on by Gordon Lewis, the judicial commissioner, during Tuesday's preliminary hearing, which was attended by representatives of Anderson, the ECB, the BCCI, legal counsel of both boards, and the ICC's ethics and regulatory lawyer.
At the end of the hearing on August 1, Lewis will have 48 hours to announce the verdict in writing. "If required, he will also decide on the sanctions to be imposed, date from when the suspension will be enforced and the process for right of appeal," the ICC said in a release.
If Lewis finds Anderson not guilty of the Level 3 charge, "then it remains open to him, at his discretion, to find the player or player support personnel guilty of an offence of a lower level than that with which he has been charged."
The ICC also confirmed that the hearing into the Level 2 charge against India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja will be conducted by the match referee David Boon. The date for Jadeja's hearing has not yet been set.

Joseph Charles Buttler Replaces Matthew James Prior For Third Test
England have included Jos Buttler in their 13-man squad for the third Investec Test against India, confirming him as the successor to Matt Prior behind the stumps. Simon Kerrigan, the Lancashire spinner, has also been left out but the squad is otherwise unchanged.
A delay to the announcement had led to speculation about whether Alastair Cook would continue as captain - despite asserting he would not give up the role on Monday - but the ECB release eventually contained no surprises.
Prior chose to stand down from international cricket and work on returning to fitness after England's damaging defeat at Lord's, accepting that he may have played his last Test. Buttler, 23 and England's regular limited-overs wicketkeeper, was called up as cover for Prior before the first India Test and is now in line for a debut at the Ageas Bowl.
There were calls for Buttler to be promoted after he scored the fastest ODI century by an England player, against Sri Lanka in May, although Cook said at the time he was not ready for the step up to Tests. Buttler averages 33.32 in first-class cricket but has been in good form for his new county, Lancashire, with one century and five fifties so far this season.
England squad: Alastair Cook (capt), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett, Sam Robson, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes
