The youngster has violated Article 2.1.7 of the code, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match,” stated the ICC. The incident occurred during the ninth over of the Windies’ innings when Shadab, after dismissing opener Chadwick Walton, pointed his finger at the departing batsmen, meanwhile, also making an inappropriate comment. After the match, Shadab admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee David Boon and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
