India pacer Arundhati Reddy was reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Group A match against Pakistan 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 statement said.

One demerit point was also added to Reddy’s disciplinary record. It was her first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 20th over of Pakistan’s innings, when Reddy gestured in the direction of the pavilion after dismissing all-rounder Nida Dar.

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.
