Arundhati Reddy reprimanded for giving fiery send off to Pakistan's Nida Dar

NEW DELHI: India pace bowler Arundhati Reddy has been reprimanded for giving a fiery send-off to Pakistan's Nida Dar, breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct, during the Women’s T20 World Cup Group A match in Dubai on Sunday.
"Reddy was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, 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,” an ICC release stated.
In addition to the reprimand, one demerit point has been added to Arundhati Reddy’s disciplinary record, marking her first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident took place in the 20th over of Pakistan’s innings when, after dismissing all-rounder Dar, Reddy gestured towards the pavilion.

Reddy admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Shandre Fritz of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, negating the need for a formal hearing.
The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Eloise Sheridan and Lauren Agenbag, along with third umpire Jacquline Williams and fourth umpire Claire Polosak.
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.
