Ind vs Afg – Hashmatullah Shahidi reprimanded for running on the pitch despite official warning

Shahidi was discovered to have breached Article 2.10.10 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Gamers and Participant Assist Personnel, which pertains to a „batter inflicting deliberate or avoidable harm to the pitch“. In consequence, one demerit level has been added to Shahidi’s disciplinary report, because it was his first offence in a 24-month interval.

Shahidi was unofficially warned twice for working on the pitch throughout his innings of 102 from 131 balls. He was then handed an official warning within the thirty first over, when he repeated the offence. Regardless of that, he ran on the pitch once more on the final ball of the fortieth over. The on-field umpires disallowed the only he took off that supply, and handed India 5 penalty runs. Therefore, India’s chase of 219 began with the rating on 5 for 0.

Shahidi admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Ranjan Madugalle, and therefore there was no want for a proper listening to. On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Rohan Pandit, third umpire Richard Illingworth, and fourth umpire Virender Sharma had levelled the cost on Shahidi.

Degree 1 breaches carry a minimal penalty of an official reprimand, a most penalty of fifty% of a participant’s match charge, and one or two demerit factors.

Afghanistan misplaced the third ODI towards India by 9 wickets, and the three-match collection 3-0.
