Afghanistan batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been handed an official reprimand for breaching stage 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct throughout their epic Cricket World Cup match in opposition to England. Gurbaz was discovered to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match.” In addition to this, one demerit level has been added to Gurbaz’s disciplinary document, for whom it was the primary offence in a 24-month interval. The incident occurred within the nineteenth over of Afghanistan’s innings, when after his dismissal, Gurbaz slammed his bat on the boundary rope and a chair.

Gurbaz admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no want for a proper listening to.

On-field umpires Rod Tucker and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, third umpire Paul Reiffel and fourth umpire Paul Wilson levelled the cost.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimal penalty of an official reprimand, a most penalty of fifty per cent of a participant’s match price, and one or two demerit factors.

Afghanistan had defeated England by 69 runs to create one of many largest upsets in World cup historical past.
