Shannon Gabriel could be banned for two Tests after allegedly using the derogatory phrase 'b**** boy' during his on-field spat with Joe Root.
That is the term that drew the England captain's measured response of 'don't use that as an insult, there's nothing wrong with being gay,' shortly after lunch on Monday.
A West Indies source countered that their fast bowler muttered 'little boy' during the exchange.

The ICC charged Gabriel, 30, with a breach of their code of conduct for alleged homophobic abuse.
Root said: 'As a player you feel you have responsibilities to uphold on the field and I stand by what I did. I just did what I thought was right.
'They're a good bunch of guys and it would be a shame if it tarnishes what has been a good, hard-fought series.
'As a player you feel you have responsibilities to uphold on the field and I stand by what I did. I just did what I thought was right.'
On-field officials Rod Tucker and Kumar Dharmasena had until 24 hours after the flashpoint to take action.
Gabriel took the wicket of Root early on day four to prompt an England declaration

They reported at the close of play on Monday that they had dealt with the issue with a warning for the use of abusive language, but went back on that decision yesterday.
Gabriel already has three demerit points and with the charge carrying between four and seven points, he would miss the equivalent of two Tests or four ODIs or T20 internationals if found guilty.
Each set of four points is the equivalent to one Test or two white-ball games.
One of the problems prior to the charge being laid was that although Root's words were captured on the stump microphones, those of Gabriel were not.
Windies insiders have also pointed to the fact that the 30-year-old Gabriel's words are indistinguishable at the best of times due to his tendency to mumble.
Root refused to confirm what was said by Gabriel at the end of play on day three
Root's response has been praised by the director of sport for the charity Stonewall
An ECB spokesman said they would not respond to the development until a verdict had been reached.
Article 2.13 of the ICC's code 'is intended to cover a Player or Player Support Personnel directing language of a personal, insulting, obscene and/or offensive nature at any Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire or Match Referee during an International Match.
'It is also intended to cover language of a personal, insulting, obscene and/or offensive nature relating to a family member of the Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire or Match Referee at whom it is directed.'
The ICC have a separate anti-racism code that last week resulted in Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed being suspended for four matches for comments made to South Africa's Andile Phehlukwayo.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
