IND vs WI 2nd T20I: Nicholas Pooran Found Guilty Of Breaching ICC Code Of Conduct
WEST Indies’ wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against India in Guyana.
Pooran was found to have breached Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to public criticism in relation to an incident occurring in an international match.
Pooran admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction of a reprimand that was proposed by the match referee, Richie Richardson, and as such there was no need for a formal hearing.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Pooran’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred following the review of a LBW decision in the 4th over of the India innings. Pooran criticized the umpires for having to use up a player review for a decision that he thought was clearly not out.
On-field umpires Leslie Reifer and Nigel Duguid, third umpire Gregory Brathwaite and fourth official Patrick Gustard levelled the charges.
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.
