Sydney: A 37-year-old spectator has been charged with assault after wrestling Pakistan's Khalid Latif to the ground during a One Day International against Australia, police said on Monday.
The Perth resident will face common assault and trespass charges in a magistrate's court on February 16 after Sunday's incident, which sparked calls for tougher penalties for pitch invaders.
Video footage showed the man running onto Perth's WACA Ground and tackling the fielder from behind, slightly injuring his neck. The game was also marred by Shahid Afridi's two-match ban for biting the ball.
Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA) chief executive Graeme Wood said the spectator had received a lifetime ban from the ground and was facing a maximum fine of 500 dollars ($440) under state law.
"Personally I'd like to see it up around 10,000 dollars so it becomes a real deterrent," Wood said.
"At 500 dollars you could be in a situation with a few mates around where you can profiteer by running out onto the ground."
Meanwhile Pakistan's Afridi has apologised for tampering with the ball by chewing one side of it. The all-rounder was banned for two Twenty20 matches.
Pakistan have completed a five-match One-day series against Australia following a Test tour.
