South Africa’s Nonkululeko Mlaba receives demerit point for Code of Conduct breach against India
South Africa’s left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has been sanctioned by the ICC for breaching code of conduct during the match against India at the Women's World Cup on Friday. The incident took place in the 17th over of India’s innings when Mlaba dismissed Indian batter Harleen Deol and followed up the wicket with a gesture, waving goodbye to the batter.
According to the ICC, Mlaba was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match."
The spinner has received one demerit point as part of her sanction. Since this was Mlaba’s first offence in a 24-month period, the penalty remains limited to a demerit point. On-field umpires Jacquline Williams and Kim Cotton, third umpire Candace le Borde and fourth umpire Sue Redfern levelled the charge.
