Harry Tector, an Ireland player, was fined fifteen percent of his match money for violating the first level of the ICC Code of Conduct during the Belfast one-off Test match against Zimbabwe.
Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with “showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match,” was judged to have been broken by Tector.
Furthermore, Harry Tector disciplinary record now has one demerit point added to it; this was his first infraction in a 24-month span.
The incident happened on Saturday in the sixth over of Ireland’s second innings. Tector delayed leaving the ground and gestured at the umpire, expressing his disapproval of the decision to be declared caught behind the wicket. He also tossed his gloves and bat as he was exiting the pitch.
There was no need for a formal hearing because Tector acknowledged the offence and accepted the punishment suggested by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees.
The accusation was made by fourth umpire Jonathan Kennedy, third umpire Mark Hawthorne, and on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid.
Level 1 violations are punishable by an official reprimand as a minimum, 50% of the player’s match fee as a maximum, and one or two demerit points.
Ireland stops Zimbabwe from winning as McBrine and Tucker contribute
With just a few days left, the hosts were chasing 158, so they probably considered a simple sail over the target in Belfast. Nevertheless, with just 21 runs scored, half the team returned. This required a specific kind of collaboration, and that’s precisely when Andy McBrine and Lorcan Tucker stepped up to the plate. The pair gave the Irish a comfortable lead when they put on 96 runs for the sixth wicket.
