The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday that the Khushdil Shah SHEHD received a fine of 50 percent of his party rate for violating level 2 of his code of conduct on the first Twenty20 against New Zealand in Christchurch on Sunday.
The tourists began the series of five games in a disastrous way, reduced to 11-4 at the end of the fifth after the imposing Kyle Jamieson pacemakers went crazy with the new ball. Finally they were fired for their lowest score in a T20 on the floor of New Zealand and the local team had few problems responding with 92-1 only 10.1 overs.
According to a press release issued by the ICC today, “it was discovered that Khushdil has violated article 2.12 of the CPI code of conduct for players and the support personnel of the players.”
The article related to “inappropriate physical contact with a player, players support staff, referee, game referee or any other person (including a spectator during an international match),” he said.
“In addition to this, three points of delerite have been added to the Khushdil disciplinary registry, for whom it was the first crime in a period of 24 months,” he said.
The incident occurred between Khushdil and Zakary Foulkes in the eighth of the first tickets, when the first ran between the Wickts, according to the press release.
“Khushdil made an inappropriate physical contact with Bowling player Zakary Foulkes with a high degree of strength, which was reckless, negligent and avoidable,” he said.
He said that since Khushdil admitted the crime and accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC Elite party referees panel, there was no need for a formal audience.
Khushdil admitted the crime and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC’s elite arbitrator panel, so there was no need for a formal audience.
The referees involved in the game – Wayne Knights, Sam Nogajski, Kim Cotton and Chris Brown – level the load.
“Level 2 infractions have a fine of 50 to 100 percent of the game rate of a player or up to two suspension points,” he said.
In an explanation, the CPI said: “When a player reaches four or more points of demerit in a period of 24 months, they become suspension points and a player is prohibited.”
“Two suspension points are equivalent to a prohibition of a test or two hate or two t20is, which comes first for the player,” he said.
“The demerit aims to remain in the disciplinary history of a support personnel of a player or player for a period of 24 months since his imposition after which they will be eliminated,” he said.
