Dubai, Dec 17 (UNI) South Africa player Chloe Tryon has been reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the ongoing Test match against England in Bloemfontein.
Tryon was found to have breached Article 2.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “use of an audible obscenity during an International Match.”
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Tryon’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred in the 44th over of England’s first innings on Sunday, when Tryon used inappropriate language after being struck for a boundary.
Tryon admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Shandrè Fritz of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Lauren Agenbag and Kerrin Klaaste, third umpire Bongani Jele and fourth umpire Siphelele Gasa levelled the charge.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 percent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
