Dubai , February 1 (ANI): England fast bowler Sam Curran has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct during the second ODI against South Africa in Bloemfontein on Sunday 29 January.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Curran’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
Curran admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
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.
South Africa leads the three-match series 2-0 and will face England on Wednesday for the third ODI in Diamond Oval, Kimberley. (ANI)
