Women’s World Cup: South Africa’s Shabneem Ismail reprimanded for breaching ICC code of conduct

South African pacer Shabnam Ismail has been reprimanded by the ICC for using inappropriate language during the Women’s Cricket World Cup semi-final against England in Christchurch on Thursday. According to an ICC release, Ismail was found to have violated Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

It deals with “the use of language, actions or gestures that may offend or provoke an aggressive reaction to a batsman being dismissed by him/her during an international match.” “A demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Ismail, for whom it was the first offense in a 24-month period,” the sport’s governing body said on Saturday. The incident happened on the last ball of England’s innings, when Ismail used inappropriate language after dismissing batsman Sophie Ecclestone.

Ismail pleaded guilty and accepted the ban proposed by GS Lakshmi of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Claire Polosak and Eloise Sheridan, third umpire Jacqueline Williams and fourth umpire Langton Russere made the allegation.
