In a new wind to the charged squabble between Ravindra Jadeja and James Anderson, two England players have affirmed that the Indian allrounder had turned towards the English bowler with a raised bat amid the standoff.
As indicated by a report in Espncricinfo, Ben Stokes and Matt Prior, amid the hearing against Jadeja, affirmed that the Indian raised his bat at Anderson amid the fight for which he was fined 50 for every penny of his match charge.
"...at the hearing England witnesses, Ben Stokes and Matt Prior, suggested to match referee David Boon that Jadeja had turned threateningly towards James Anderson, and the England fast bowler had acted in self defence," the site reported.
The hearing on the level 3 charges against Anderson will be directed on August 1. The pacer purportedly pushed and ill-used Jadeja amid the lunch break of the second day's play in the opening Test in Nottingham.
"Prior contended Jadeja's bat was raised dangerously when he turned towards Anderson, and Stokes suggested Jadeja had pushed Anderson first.
However, India claim Jadeja neither touched nor swore at anyone," the report expressed citing sources.
The whole case is focused around confirmations of opponent players as there is no feature accessible of the episode.
Jadeja's fine has not run down excessively well with the Indian group administration and a request has been documented against the ICC administering.
