Rishabh Pant
has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for showing dissent at an umpire's decision during the Headingley Test match against England.
The incident occurred during England's first innings when Pant violated Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, leading to a demerit point being added to his disciplinary record.
The specific incident took place in the 61st over of England's innings when Harry Brook and Ben Stokes were at the crease. Pant engaged in a discussion with the umpires regarding the condition of the ball, and when the officials refused to change the ball after checking it with the ball gauge, he expressed his disagreement by throwing the ball on the ground in front of the umpires.

Under the ICC's disciplinary guidelines, Level 1 breaches carry specific penalties. These include a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and can extend to a maximum penalty of 50 percent of a player's match fee, along with one or two demerit points.
Prior to this incident, Pant had delivered an outstanding batting performance in the Headingley Test, scoring two centuries across both innings, demonstrating his significant contribution to the match despite the disciplinary issue.
The match situation at Leeds remains competitive, with England needing 350 runs to win on the final day of play, with all their wickets intact. This sets up an intriguing conclusion to the Test match, with both teams still in contention for victory.

'Wanted Virat Kohli To Lead But...': Sourav Ganguly Puts An End To Captaincy Fiasco
Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Sourav Ganguly has made a big revelation while recalling the captain saga, after Virat Kohli stepped down as captain following the tour of South Africa in 2022. Ganguly was taking care of day-to-day operations at BCCI when Kohli was removed from ODI captaincy and was replaced with Rohit Sharma. This happened few months after Kohli resigned as T20I captain, following India's group stage exit from the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai. Kohli, while addressing the media before the team's departure from the Test series in South Africa, said that he was informed by the selectors that he won't be the ODI captain anymore just one and a half hours before the Test squad for the South Africa series was announced and there was no prior communication on the same from the BCCI. After lost the Test series in South Africa, Kohli also stepped down as captain of the Test team. Ganguly has now revealed that the BCCI wanted Kohli to continue as Test captain, and that Rohit was also reluctant to accept the job. "Quite natural, you have one captain for the white ball. 50 over and 20 over. We always wanted Virat to captain but he did not want to continue. Rohit was captaining Mumbai Indians, was captaining 50 overs and T20. We needed a Test captain because Virat was the Test captain till then, but he finished in South Africa. I always believed Rohit was a very good captain. So obviously, a request from the board went to him. He was reluctant because of workload. I remember having a conversation with him that you do not want to finish your career without captaining India in Test matches." "He is a very adjustable and friendly person. If you have a conversation with him, he will accept. Who will not want to be India's test captain. All these conversations were in person. I was a very hands-on board president. Meet players, talk to players," Ganguly told news agency PTI during an interaction.
