Siraj has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee after being found to have breached article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which relates to \u201cusing language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Siraj\u2019s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in the 82nd over when, upon dismissing the batter (Travis Head), Siraj came within close proximity to him and gave him a send-off by pointing towards the direction of Australia\u2019s dressing room.<\/p>\n
Head was reprimanded after he was was found to have breached Article 2.13 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to the \u201cabuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee during an international match.\u201d<\/p>\n
One demerit point has been added to Head\u2019s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.<\/p>\n
The incident took place when, on being dismissed by Siraj, Head reacted to a send-off in an aggressive and inappropriate manner.<\/p>\n
Siraj and Head admitted their respective offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.<\/p>\n
On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Richard Illingworth, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth umpire, Phillip Gillespie levelled the charges.<\/p>\n
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player\u2019s match fee, and one or two demerit points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
