Faf du Plessis to appeal ICC's ball-tampering decision

Faf du Plessis is "feeling aggrieved" at the International Cricket Council's decision to fine him for ball tampering, which he intends to appeal against.

South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis has announced that he intends to appeal against his fine for ball tampering in last week's second Test against Australia in Hobart.

The 32-year-old was fined 100% of his match fee for breaching the International Cricket Council's code of conduct, as television footage showed him shining the ball with the use of a mint in his mouth.

Du Plessis's punishment was in relation to "applying an artificial substance" to the ball during his side's victory over Australia, but he was given the green light to appear in the third Test.

It has now emerged that he intends to challenge the fine, however, with Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat saying in a statement: "In his mind, Faf is clear that he did not alter the condition of the ball nor did he intend to do so and that the match referee was not correct to find him guilty. He is understandably feeling aggrieved.

"CSA will support him to appeal the decision before an independent Judicial Commissioner as there are issues relating to fair and just process, interpretation of the rules, science and performance that needs to be considered."

The decision to allow Du Plessis to play against Australia proved to be a big call, as he scored an unbeaten century in the first innings of Thursday's third Test in Adelaide.
