It was found that Maruf Mridha broke the ICC Code of Conduct.

Maruf Mridha, a bowler for Bangladesh U19, was told off for breaking Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup match against India in Bloemfontein.A violation of Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel was found in Maruf Mridha. This rule says that “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”

One penalty point has also been added to Maruf Mridha’s record because this was her first criminal offense in 24 months.

The situation happened in India’s 44th over. After getting rid of the batter, Mridha told the batter to leave by pointing angrily to the changing room twice.

Mridha admitted to the crime and agreed to the punishment suggested by Shaid Wadvalla of the Emirates International Panel of ICC Match Referees. Because of this, there was no need for an official hearing.

The charge was made by on-field umpires Donovan Koch and Nigel Duguid, third umpire Allahudien Paleker, and fourth umpire Langton Rusere. Level 1 violations are punished with a formal reprimand at the very least and 50% of the player’s match fee and one or two demerit points at the most.
