Overview
- The International Cricket Council issued official reprimands and one demerit point to Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford on Monday for separate Level 1 breaches during the second T20I in Ranchi.
- Powell was found to have breached Article 2.2 after he struck the ball with his bat following his dismissal by Mayank Yadav in the sixth over.
- Rutherford was charged under Article 2.8 for loudly showing dissent when a delivery he believed was wide was ruled legitimate in the 13th over.
- Both players admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee Prakash Bhatt so no formal hearings were held and the demerit points will expire after 24 months.
- The disciplinary entries followed West Indies’ 250-run successful chase in Ranchi, a match that featured Shai Hope’s 45-ball century and Rutherford’s 84 and which was followed by India regaining the series lead in the third T20I at Indore.
