LEEDS, ENGLAND (CMC):
Ailsa Lister of Scotland has been reprimanded after admitting to breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup match against West Indies Women on Thursday.
Lister was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match”.
The incident occurred in the 19th over of Scotland’s innings when, after being dismissed, Lister threw her bat and gloves on the ground as she left the field and then kicked and knocked over a bin next to the team dugout.
Lister admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by GS Lakshmi of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
Additionally, one demerit point has been added to her disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
On-field umpires Claire Polosak and Kerrin Klaaste, third umpire N. Janani and fourth umpire Nimali Perera levelled the charge.
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.
