'Big Bash': Warne accepts penalty over bust-up with Samuels
PIX: Warne banned after bust-up with Samuels in Big Bash
In a statement, CA said Warne is alleged to have breached Rule 5: Laws of Cricket and Spirit of the Game.
Warne, the Melbourne [ Images ] Stars skipper, was not listed on the team sheet as captain and James Faulkner took his place and went out for toss with Perth Scorchers captain Simon Katich [ Images ] for the semi-final match.
On December 5, Big Bash League teams were sent a Memo by Cricket Australia. Under the heading 'Over Rates', the Memo stated that "If a team's official captain is selected but not named as captain, this will be considered against the Spirit of Cricket and may attract a Code of Behaviour charge."
Warne had previously been issued with one strike for a slow over rate violation, with a second strike this season resulting in an automatic one-match suspension.
The time and date of this latest hearing is yet to be determined.
Early this month, Warne was banned for one game following a fiery clash with Melbourne Renegades batsman Marlon Samuels in a Big Bash match.
