Australia wicket-keeper Matthew Wade has been officially reprimanded and handed one demerit point for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the match against England in Barbados on Saturday.
This marks his first offence within a 24-month period.
The ICC determined that Wade breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to “showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match.”
The incident occurred during the 18th over of the match.
According to Cricpulse ball-by-ball commentary:
17.3 Adil Rashid to Wade, no run, what has happened here? Wade wants to pull out of this one, makes room outside the leg-stump, but puts his bat in line with the ball, defends it back.
Not called a dead-ball and Wade is incredulous at umpire Nitin Menon, but the Indian sticks to his call and it will be a dot.
Had he left that, then might have been a dead-ball.
On-field umpires Nitin Menon and Joel Wilson, along with third umpire Asif Yaqoob and fourth umpire Jayaraman Madangopal, charged Wade for the incident.
Wade admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Andy Pycroft of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
