Pakistan batsman Sidra Amin has been reprimanded by the ICC for violating Level 1 of the Code of Conduct during the Women’s World Cup match against India and a demerit point has been added to her account.
Amin scored 81 runs against India at the R Premdasa Stadium on Sunday but his innings went in vain because his team could not chase the target of 247 runs given by India and was reduced to 159 runs. And lost to India by 88 runs.
At the same time, the ICC said that Sidara was found guilty of violation of Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for the players and players’ support staff. These violations are related to the disrespect of cricket equipment or clothes, ground equipment or something used during sports during international matches.
Let me tell you that when Sneh Rana dismissed him during the 40th over during Pakistan’s innings, he hit a loud bat pitch. The ICC said that along with this, a demerit points have been added to their disciplinary records and this was their first violation over a 24 -month period. According to the ICC, Amin has accepted the punishment proposed by Shandra Fritz, a member of the International Panel of the ICC match referee, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
