ICC Reprimands Pakistan’s Sidra Amin for Level 1 Code Breach in South Africa ODI

The Pakistan opener accepted a Level 1 penalty under Article 2.2 for throwing her bat, adding a second demerit point in 24 months.

Overview

  • The incident occurred in the first ODI in Bloemfontein on Sunday when Amin, dismissed in the 24th over, threw her bat on the ground.
  • The offence was assessed under Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which covers misuse or abuse of cricket equipment or ground fixtures.
  • On-field umpires Kerrin Klaaste and Nimali Perera filed the charge, with Lauren Agenbag as third umpire and Stacy Lackay as fourth.
  • Match referee Shandrè Fritz proposed the sanction, which Amin accepted, so no formal hearing was required.
  • One demerit point was added to her record, taking her total to two within 24 months after a prior offence on October 5, 2025, and Level 1 breaches can also attract fines up to 50% of match fees.
