India paceman Ishant Sharma and three Sri Lankan players have been charged for misconduct during the ongoing third Test between the two countries.
Ishant, who was fined 65 percent of his match fees for giving send-offs to Lahiru Thirimanne and Dinesh Chandimal in the second Test, is in trouble again after an altercation with the same two players and paceman Dhammika Prasad on Monday.
The Sri Lankan trio have also been charged with code of conduct breaches by the ICC for the incident.
After taking a single and running past Prasad, Ishant was seen smacking his own head as if to dare the bowler to try and bounce him. Chandimal then joined from slip, brushing shoulders with Ishant.
At the end of India's second innings, Ishant ran towards the Indian dressing room to change and get ready to bowl and was followed by Prasad, who sprinted behind him.
Ishant gave animated send-offs to Upul Tharanga and broke into wild celebration after Chandimal's dismissal.
The umpires have spoken to both captains and the players ahead of the final day in Colombo, where India require seven wickets to secure a long-awaited Test series success in Sri Lanka.
