The ICC is being put under pressure by the Board of Control for Cricket in India to reconsider its ruling in the disciplinary case involving England's James Anderson.
BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel has admitted that they are unhappy with Anderson being cleared of a Level 3 offence for an off-field incident with Ravindra Jadeja during the first Test draw at Trent Bridge in July.
The BBCI are unable to lodge an appeal themselves but have seemingly persuaded the ICC to revisit the decision made by judicial commissioner Gordon Lewis, with ICC chief executive Dave Richardson having until Sunday to decide whether to call for a new hearing.
A statement from the ICC on Tuesday read: "The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed that it has received and is considering the written decision of His Honor Gordon Lewis AM, the Judicial Commissioner, in respect of his findings that England's James Anderson and Ravindra Jadeja of India were not guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct and Player Support Personnel, following an exhaustive disciplinary hearing which was held in Southampton on Friday.
"As per Section 8.3.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct, ICC Chief Executive David Richardson has seven days - until Sunday, August 10 - to consider whether to lodge an appeal against the decision.
"The ICC will make no further comment on this matter until the decision has been made."
Both Anderson and Jadeja are expected to play in the fourth Test of the series at Old Trafford this week.
