Clarke Facing Possible Ban

[chinaman]

England's Rikki Clarke is facing a possible ban after being charged with verbally abusing a Bangladesh batsman during the first Test in Dhaka.
The Surrey all-rounder has been ordered to appear before International Cricket Council match referee Wasim Raja.

Clarke is alleged to have sworn at Mushfiqur Rahman during the fourth day's play.

Possible penalties range from a fine to a ban of either one Test match or two one-day internationals.

If found guilty, it would be a disappointing end to a match which saw Clarke awarded his first Test cap in the absence of injured Andrew Flintoff.

The incident was reported to Raja by third umpire Akter Uddin.
