India vice-captain Shafali Verma is penalised under the ICC Code of Conduct after an incident during the second T20I against Zimbabwe. Multiple outlets report that after dropping a catch, she throws the ball to the ground in frustration during India’s nine-wicket win in Raipur on Sunday.
The ICC finds the incident breaches Level 1 of its Code of Conduct. As a result, Verma receives an official reprimand and a demerit point. Reports differ mainly in phrasing—some describe it explicitly as punishment or reprimand—while agreeing on the core facts: the match, the on-field action, and that the ICC categorises it as a Level 1 breach.
