South Africa's Dean Elgar reprimanded for Level 1 offence
Elgar was found to have breached Article 2.1.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “Abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match.”
The charge related to an incident in the 10th over of South Africa’s second innings, when Elgar, after being bowled, hit a stump with his bat.
The charge was brought by on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Chris Gaffaney, third umpire Jeremiah Matibiri and fourth umpire Owen Chirombe.
The batsman admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Roshan Mahanama of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees. As such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee.
