New Zealand Cricket said in a statement, “Nicholls has been charged under Section 1 of the Code of Conduct. Rule 3 of 15. 1 is accused of violation. He broke this rule during the Plunket Shield match.
No date for hearing has been set. Nicholls is part of the Kiwi team touring Bangladesh later this month.
