  • Match referee Richie Richardson determined the comments crossed the line under the ICC code, according to reports.
  • ESPNcricinfo reported that Yadav pleaded not guilty during the hearing but his defense was rejected.
  • The sanction has not been disclosed, though reports indicate it could involve demerit points and/or a financial penalty pending the appeal.
