Sikandar Raza will miss two games due to his on-field altercation with Campher and Little, while ZIM will receive a fine.

During the first T20I encounter between Zimbabwe and Ireland on Thursday at the Harare Sports Club, skipper Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe and players Curtis Campher and Josh Little of Ireland were fined for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.

After his most recent violation of the ICC Code of Conduct, Raza’s demerit points reached four within a 24-month period. As a result, he was fined 50% of his match fee and given two demerit points. As a result, he will be suspended for the final two games of the current three-match series.

Little and Campher both earned one demerit point, which they can use anytime within 24 months, along with a fine equal to 15% of their respective match costs.

The ICC Code of Behavior for Players and Player Support Staff, Article 2.20, which addresses “conduct contrary to the spirit of the game,” was determined to have been violated by all three.

Therefore, there was no need for a formal hearing because Campher and Little admitted their wrongdoing and agreed to Andy Pycroft’s suggested penalty from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees.

Sikandar Raza accepted responsibility for the crime, but he rejected Mr. Pycroft’s suggested punishment. On December 8, a formal hearing affirmed the sentence.

The occurrences happened in the following ways:

Sikandar Raza was accused of pointing his bat, attacking Campher and Josh Little, and separating from the umpire who was attempting to diffuse the tension.

Campher was accused of rushing at Raza while dodging a field umpire who attempted to impede his advance.

Raza said that Little was impeding his progress as he was trying to run, and Little was charged with making physical contact with him.

Fourth official Christopher Phiri, third umpire Langton Rusere, and on-field umpires Forster Mutizwa and Iknow Chabi all made the accusations.

A player who violates Level 1 rules faces a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50% of their match money, and one or two demerit points.
