New Zealand pacer Daryl Mitchell has been fined 15 per cent of his match price for breaching the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) code of conduct in the course of the lately concluded first Test match in opposition to West Indies. In an announcement, the ICC mentioned, “Mitchell was found to have breached Article 2.3 of the ICC code, which relates to ‘use of an audible obscenity during an international match’. In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to his disciplinary record.”
The incident occurred within the 62nd over on Saturday when Mitchell used inappropriate language as Jason Holder was working between the wickets and in shut proximity to him.
Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction which was ratified by the ICC Cricket Operations division as per the COVID-19 interim taking part in laws. Mitchell pleaded responsible to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no want for a proper listening to.
The cost was levelled by on-field umpires Chris Gaffaney, Wayne Knights and TV umpire Christopher Brown.
