ICC fines WI for slow over-rate
West Indies cricket team has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during the first One Day International (ODI) against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham on May 29. Match referee Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel imposed a five percent fine on each West Indies player's match fee after the team was found to be one over short of the required target by the end of their innings, once time allowances were taken into consideration. This penalty is in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with minimum over-rate offences. The ICC regulations mandate that players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over their team fails to bowl within the allotted time. West Indies captain Shai Hope accepted the sanction, and a formal hearing was not required. The charge was brought against the team by the on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Martin Saggers, along with third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd. The match saw England post a mammoth total of 400 runs for 8 wickets, with outstanding half-centuries from Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, and Jacob Bethell powering the hosts. In response, West Indies struggled against disciplined bowling, getting bowled out for 162 runs. England's Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton were the pick of the bowlers, each taking three wickets. England secured a dominant 238-run victory, leaving West Indies with much to reflect on as they prepare for the second ODI. The next match is scheduled to take place on Sunday, where the West Indies will aim to bounce back and level the series.

Paul Reiffel and Richard Illingworth, both members of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Umpires, have been appointed as the on-field umpires for the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand to be played in Dubai on Sunday. Both stood in the semi-finals, with Illingworth in the middle for India's four-wicket win over Australia and Reiffel overseeing the Black Caps' 50-run victory over South Africa the following day. Four-time ICC Umpire of the Year Illingworth also stood in the final of the most recent ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023, as well as the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, and took charge of the Group A match between the two finalists, which India won by 44 runs. The pair will be joined by Joel Wilson as third umpire and Kumar Dharmasena as fourth umpire. Both Emirates ICC Elite Panel umpires were part of the officiating team in the second semi-final between New Zealand and South Africa, with Dharmasena on-field, alongside Reiffel, and Wilson stationed as the third umpire. The Trinidadian will reprise that role for the showpiece, having done likewise in the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup final.

Pak players fined for misconduct
Three Pakistan cricket team players have been penalized for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during their tri-nation series match against South Africa. The trio include pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi and batters Saud Shakeel and Kamran Ghulam, revealed the press release issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Shaheen was fined 25 per cent of his match fee after he was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match." The incident occurred in the 28th over of South Africa's innings, when Shaheen deliberately got in the way of batter Matthew Breetzke as he ran a single, causing an inappropriate physical contact that also resulted in an argument. Meanwhile, Saud and substitute fielder Kamran were fined 10 per cent each of their match fee as they celebrated too close to batter Temba Bavuma after he was run out in the 29th over of South Africa's innings. Saud and Kamran were found to have breached Article 2.5 of the Code, which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match." In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary records of the three players, all of whom did not have a previous offence in a 24-month period. All three admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by David Boon of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for formal hearings. On-field umpires Asif Yaqoob and Michael Gough, third umpire Richard Illingworth and fourth umpire Faisal Afridi levelled the charges.
