Kohli fined 15 per cent of match fee for ICC Code of Conduct breach | | India batsman Virat Kohli has been fined 15 per cent of
his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his team's ODI against New Zealand in Dambulla on Wednesday. Kohli pleaded guilty to a Level 1 offence
and accepted the proposed sanction from Alan Hurst of the Emirates Elite Panel
of ICC Match Referees after play concluded. He was found to have breached 2.1.3
of the code which relates to "showing dissent at an umpire's decision". After
being given out in the sixth over, the player stood his ground and looked at the
umpire for a considerable time before eventually leaving the middle. This was
considered to be a show of dissent, a fact accepted by the player himself. Because
Kohli pleaded guilty and accepted the proposed sanction there was no need for
a formal hearing. The charge was brought by on-field umpires Asad Rauf and Asoka
de Silva, third umpire Kumar Dharmasena and fourth official Gration Liyanage.
"Accepting umpires' decisions is part and parcel of playing cricket and on this
occasion Virat clearly showed dissent when he had been given out," said Hurst. |
