Alastair Cook has said that the Indians are making a mountain out of a molehill in relation to the Jadeja-Anderson row. James Anderson, was accused by the Indian team manager for pushing and abusing Ravindra Jadeja.

 

James Anderson, who has been charged under Level 3 of ICC Code of Conduct, may face a two Test match ban if found guilty. However, Alastair Cook is not worried about it. “I’d be very surprised if it comes to that”, he was quoted by BBC.

A date for hearing has not been finalised as yet which means Anderson is sure to play and the incident is bound to have a bearing when the two teams square up. International Cricket Council (ICC) has charged the home pacer Anderson for pushing and abusing Jadeja during the lunch break on the second day of first Test. If found guilty he could miss at least two and up to four Tests or up to eight One-Days Internationals (ODIs), something that the hosts will not desire under any circumstances.
