India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lanka pacer Asitha Fernando are penalised after an on-field confrontation during the Colombo Test. Both players are fined 25% of their respective match fees.
The disciplinary action is accompanied by one demerit point added to each player’s record. The penalty is issued for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct following a heated exchange during play. Both outlets report the same fine amount and the same disciplinary outcome, indicating the incident is treated consistently under the ICC’s framework.
While the reports focus on the sanction itself, they do not provide additional details about the underlying remarks or ball-by-ball context beyond noting the confrontation.
