Overview

  • Seales was penalized 25% of his match fee and given one demerit point for a Level 1 breach of Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
  • The incident occurred in the 29th over on Day 1 in New Delhi when Seales threw the ball after his follow-through and hit Yashasvi Jaiswal on the pads.
  • He contested the sanction by claiming a run-out attempt, but match referee Andy Pycroft found the throw unnecessary after viewing multi-angle replays.
  • On-field umpires Richard Illingworth and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Alex Wharf, and fourth umpire K. N. Ananthapadmanabhan laid the charge.
  • Seales now has two demerit points in 24 months, adding to a point from December 2024 against Bangladesh, with a ban applied at four under ICC rules.
