Ricky Ponting, Australian team captain, the captain of World Cup holders, is facing a charge for allegedly damaging a television set in the dressing room after he was dismissed during his side's victory over Zimbabwe.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) told Reuters on Wednesday that it had received a report on the incident from the BCCI after it was sent to them by the Gujarat Cricket Association which oversees the sport in Ahmedabad where Monday's game took place.
"We expect to make a decision later on Wednesday about possible charges," ICC spokesman James Fitzgerald said.
On Monday, Ponting was run out by a direct hit from the deep by Zimbabwe's Chris Mpofu in the Group A clash between the two teams.
An agitated Ponting was seen talking angrily to himself as he walked back to the dressing room and, in a state of fury, threw his gear, which accidentally hit the LCD monitor.
Ponting, Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) officials claimed, immediately apologised and requested the authorities for a replacement, said the Australian team's media manager Lachy Paterson.
