England opener Jason Roy has been fined 30 per cent of his match fee for breaching ICC’s code of conduct during the World Cup semi-final against Australia at Edgbaston.
Roy was found to have breached Article 2.8 ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing dissent at an umpires decision in an international match.
In addition to the fine, two demerit points have been added to Roy’s disciplinary record.
The incident occurred during the 19th over of England’s innings when Roy showed his dissent at being given out.
Roy admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Ranjan Madugalle as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Kumar Dharmasena, third umpire Chris Gaffaney and fourth official Aleem Dar levelled the charges.
