Fatima Sana reprimanded for breaching ICC Code of Conduct
Fatima was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ' showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match.'
One demerit point has been added to Fatima's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred in the 13th over of Pakistan's innings, when Fatima, on being adjudged caught behind, stayed on at the crease with her hands on her hips before walking off slowly, in what was seen as a show of dissent.
Fatima admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Graham McCrea of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Roland Black, Gareth Morrison and third umpire Aidan Seaver 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.
NOTES TO EDITORS:
* When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned
** Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player
*** Demerit Points to remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel's disciplinary record for a period of twenty-four (24) months from their imposition following which they will be expunged
