The International Cricket Council [ Images ] Tuesday said the case of Shane Warne's [ Images ] positive dope test fell under the jurisdiction of the Australian Cricket Board and should be suitably dealt by it under its anti doping policy.

The ICC's [ Images ] doping policy applies only to tests taken during the ICC Cricket World Cup in South Africa [ Images ], the game's world governing body said in a statement.

Warne's sample was taken on January 22 in Melbourne [ Images ] during the one-day tri-series. The positive result was conveyed to the cricketer Monday night after which Warne decided to head back home to sort out the issue before a drugs tribunal.

The Australian Board will be making an application to the ICC Technical Committee for a replacement.

Once this is received, a meeting of the committee will be convened to deal with the issue and take a decision.
