Overview

• The ICC imposed a 25% match-fee fine on Jayden Seales and added one demerit point for a Level 1 breach of Article 2.9.
• The incident came in the 29th over of India’s first innings in New Delhi when Seales’ throw struck Yashasvi Jaiswal on the pads.
• On-field umpires Richard Illingworth and Paul Reiffel, with third umpire Alex Wharf and fourth umpire K.N. Ananthapadmanabhan, laid the charge.
• Seales contested the sanction by claiming he attempted a run out, which led to a formal hearing with replay footage reviewed.
• Andy Pycroft ruled the throw unnecessary and inappropriate, confirming the sanction and taking Seales to two demerit points within 24 months, the previous from December 2024 in Bangladesh.
