Three Ireland Players Fined, Reprimanded for Breaching ICC Code of Conduct

DUBAI: Ireland cricketer Josh Little has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee while his team-mates, Mark Adair and Harry Tector, have been reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct in separate incidents during the third match of their ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League series against South Africa in Malahide, Dublin on July 16.

Ireland lost the high-scoring match to South Africa by 70 runs as the visitors came back after the loss in the second ODI to end the three-match series 1-1. The opening match of the series was abandoned due to rain.

"Little was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match," ICC said in a statement on Sunday.

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Little, for whom it was the second offence in 24 months, taking his cumulative demerit points to two.

The incident occurred in the 11th over of South Africa's innings. After Little had bowled a delivery to Quinton de Kock, he followed through on his run up and made inappropriate physical contact with the batsman. IANS
