Dutch Opener Max ODowd Reprimanded For ICC Code Of Conduct Breach

Cricket World Cup League: Dutch batter Max ODowd has received an official reprimand and one demerit point for showing dissent at an umpires decision during the Netherlands ICC Mens Cricket World Cup League 2 match against Oman in Dubai on Tuesday. The incident occurred during the Netherlands innings, with ODowd penalised for breaching Level 1 of the International Cricket Councils (ICC) Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. ODowd was found guilty of breaching Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which concerns showing dissent at an Umpires decision during an International Match. The sanction marks his first disciplinary offence in a 24-month period, with the demerit point added to his disciplinary record. The incident took place in the 12th over of the Netherlands innings when ODowd was adjudged leg-before wicket. Following the decision, the batter indicated to the umpire that he had edged the delivery by displaying his bat, an action deemed to constitute dissent. ODowd admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Phil Whitticase of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees. As a result, a formal hearing was not required. The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Akbar Ali and Shiju Sam, along with reserve umpire Virender Sharma. Under the ICC Code of Conduct, Level 1 offences carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum sanction of a fine amounting to 50 per cent of a players match fee. Such breaches also attract one or two demerit points, depending on the nature and severity of the offence. The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Akbar Ali and Shiju Sam, along with reserve umpire Virender Sharma. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
