Reprimands Issued
Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford of the West Indies have been handed official reprimands for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second Men’s T20I against India in Ranchi.
Powell was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to 'abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match'.
Rutherford was found to have breached Article 2.8, which relates to 'showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match'.
Details of Offences
Powell's offence occurred in the sixth over of the West Indies innings, after being dismissed by Mayank Yadav, he hit the ball away with his bat.
Rutherford's offence came in the 13th over, when he yelled aggressively at the umpire after a delivery he believed was wide was ruled to be legitimate.
Both players admitted their offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Prakash Bhatt of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for formal hearings.
Disciplinary Action
One demerit point has been added to the disciplinary records of the players, for both of whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.
