New Delhi, Oct 30 (UNI) India's left-arm fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed has been given an official warning and a demerit point for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players during the fourth India-Windies ODI at the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai.
The incident happened in the 14th over, when the left-armer, after having Marlon Samuels caught in the slips by Rohit Sharma, advanced aggressively towards the departing batter, which, in the view of the on-field umpires, could have provoked a reaction from the Windies player.
Khaleel was found to have violated 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”.
