The International Cricket Council (ICC) reprimands West Indies players Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford for separate breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second men’s T20 International against India in Ranchi on Friday.
According to reports, Powell commits an offence after being dismissed, striking the ball with his bat in a manner that violates the Code. Rutherford is penalised for showing dissent toward an umpire’s decision relating to the legality of a delivery. Both players accept their sanctions, and each receives one demerit point for their respective incidents.
While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis, they broadly agree on the key details: the match, the nature of each on-field incident, and the disciplinary outcome from the ICC, including acceptance of the penalties and the assignment of demerit points.
