The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday said that all-rounder Khushdil Shah has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for breaching level 2 of its Code of Conduct in the first Twenty20 against New Zealand in Christchurch on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The tourists began the five-match series in disastrous fashion, reduced to 11-4 at the end of the fifth over after towering paceman Kyle Jamieson ran amok with the new ball. They were eventually dismissed for their lowest score in a T20 on New Zealand soil and the home side had few problems in responding with 92-1 off just 10.1 overs.<\/p>\n
According to a press release issued by the ICC today, \u201cKhushdil was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for players and player support personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n
The article related to \u201cinappropriate physical contact with a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee or any other person (including a spectator during an international match)\u201d, it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to this, three demerit points have been added to Khushdil\u2019s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred between Khushdil and Zakary Foulkes in the eighth over of the first innings, when the former was running between the wickets, the press release said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKhushdil made inappropriate physical contact with bowler Zakary Foulkes with a high degree of force, which was reckless, negligent and avoidable,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
It said that since Khushdil admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, there was no need for a formal hearing.<\/p>\n
Khushdil admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.<\/p>\n
The umpires involved in the game \u2014 Wayne Knights, Sam Nogajski, Kim Cotton and Chris Brown \u2014 levelled the charge.<\/p>\n
\u201cLevel 2 breaches carry a fine of 50 to 100pc of a player\u2019s match fee or up to two suspension points,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
In an explanation, the ICC said, \u201cWhen a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
