Jasprit Bumrah found guilty for breaching ICC code of conduct
In the 81st over of England's second innings, Bumrah intentionally interfered with Ollie Pope, resulting in unlawful physical contact on Sunday.
West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite has received an official reprimand and received one demerit point for breaching the Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during West Indies’ encounter with England in the ongoing World Cup at the Hampshire Bowl on Friday.
He was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the code of conduct for players and player support personnel which relates to showing dissent to an umpire’s decision.
The incident occurred in the 43rd over of the West Indies innings when Brathwaite showed his dissent after given out by the umpire. Even though Ultra Edge showed there was a nick through to the keeper, the batsmen didn’t look happy with the decision.

Brathwaite admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee David Boon. There was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Sundaram Ravi and Kumar Dharmasena, third umpire Rodney Tucker and fourth official Paul Wilson levelled the charges.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
West Indies were outplayed in the match as England chased down the target with eight wickets to spare after bundling the Carribeans out for 212.
