She said she had an argument with Mishra in his hotel room on September 27 and he assaulted and abused her. Mishra has been released on bail. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison. Mishra was not immediately available for comment. The 32-year-old leg-spinner has played 16 test matches and 31 one-day internationals for India. He has been selected for the first two tests against South Africa. The first test begins in Mohali, northern Haryana state, on November 5.
