Nov 2016: Why Kohli and Warner weren't charged

Around the same time that the ICC heard the Faf du Plessis case, there emerged on social media footage of Virat Kohli and David Warner with suggestions that they might have introduced artificial substances to shine the ball. That footage, though, was not a consideration for the ICC because any Level 1 or 2 offence under the ICC Code of Conduct has to be brought to the notice of the ICC match referee within five days of the incident.

Former players of varied nationalities - Sourav Ganguly, Jason Gillespie and Matt Prior to name a few - have said in the last week that the use of a sweet or a lolly or a mint to shine a ball is a practice widely prevalent in cricket.

"Amongst the players the lines are pretty clear & use of mints/sweets to shine the ball is accepted," Prior responded on Twitter when asked what the line regarding ball-tampering was.

"Not everyone scratches the ball on their zipper but EVERYONE uses sweets! You'd have to fine/ban a player every match," Prior went on to tweet.
