The Australian opener Matthew Hayden has been charged with breaching Cricket Australia's code of conduct after calling India offspinner Harbhajan Singh an "obnoxious weed".
Hayden also said he liked the idea of "getting into the ring" with Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma during a lively radio interview that has almost inevitably brought official sanction.
"Rule guidelines prohibit public denigration of other players against whom they have or will play," said Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young.
A Code of Conduct commissioner will appointed later today to hear the charge against Hayden, which comes a day after he was voted Australia's limited-overs player of the year.
