Broad Fined For Using Inappropriate Language In First Test Against Pakistan

 

England won their first Test against Pakistan by three wickets and are currently preparing for the second Test but one player had to face sanctions. In the second innings, on Saturday, bowler Stuart Broad used inappropriate language after dismissing Pakistani player Yasir Shah.

By doing so, he breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct which reads: “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”.

Broad was reported by match umpires Richard Kettleborough, Richard Illingworth, Michael Gough, and Steve O’Shaughnessy who were officiating that afternoon. Broad did not contest or dispute the charges but admitted to it and accepted the sanctions.

The sanctions were handed out by Chris Broad, Stuart’s dad, who is a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. Saturday’s offence is tagged as a level 1 breach which carries a maximum penalty of 50 percent of match fee and up to 2 demerit points.

Stuart Broad was fined 15 percent of his match earnings and also given 1 demerit point. Currently, Broad has received 3 demerit points in the past 24 months, the last being in January in the fourth Test match against South Africa. A player who receives 4 demerit points within 24 months would be suspended. Broad was given the demerit point almost 2 years after he received his first on August 19 in a third Test match against India.

England vs. Pakistan second Test would hold on August 13 – 17 at the Aegeas Bowl, Southampton.
