Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the India women’s team, was found guilty of two different violations of the ICC Code of Conduct and has been suspended for the next two international games.
The occurrences happened on Saturday in Dhaka during the third game of the ICC Women’s Championship series versus Bangladesh.
The first incident happened precisely when Kaur whacked the wickets with her bat in a fit of rage after being dismissed for being caught at slip by spinner Nahida Akter in the 34th over of India’s batting.
A Level 2 breach typically carries a penalty ranging from 50 to 100 percent of the player’s match fee, and three or four demerit points, while a Level 1 breach entails a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, up to a maximum penalty of 50 percent of the player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
In Kaur’s instance, the accumulation of four demerit points from the offences converted to two suspension points, leading to her suspension from either one Test match or two ODIs or two T20Is, whichever comes first for the team.
