Dubai: The ICC on Tuesday confirmed the hearing date for Faf du Plessis’ appeal will be Monday 19 December. Michael Beloff QC has been appointed Judicial Commissioner to hear the appeal.

The ICC will publish the result of the hearing through its usual channels and will not be making any further comment until that time.
Earlier, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was charged for breaching Article 2.2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct after television footage appeared to show him applying an artificial substance to the ball during the fourth day’s play in the second Test in Hobart.
The charge related to changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3 and has been laid by the ICC Chief Executive David Richardson who has exercised his right to do so according to Article 3.1.3 of the Code.
Du Plessis had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
