Overview
- Lister threw her bat and gloves and then kicked over a bin after being dismissed in the 19th over on Thursday, June 18, an act that on-field umpires logged in their match report.
- Match referee GS Lakshmi proposed a Level 1 sanction that Lister admitted to and accepted, so no formal hearing was held and the ICC issued an official reprimand plus one demerit point.
- This is Lister’s first disciplinary offence in 24 months and the one demerit point now sits on her record under the ICC Code of Conduct.
- Level 1 breaches cover abuse of equipment or ground fittings and carry a minimum reprimand, possible fines up to 50% of match fees, and one or two demerit points that convert to suspension points if four or more accrue in 24 months.
- The incident occurred during Scotland’s narrow seven-run loss to the West Indies, a match in which Darcey Carter top-scored with 59 and Aaliyah Alleyne and Hayley Matthews took key wickets, and the sanction could affect Lister’s availability if further points are added before they face England and New Zealand.
