Indian cricket team fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. According to the official ICC press release, Arshdeep breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment) at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.”
The incident took place during the 11th over of the New Zealand innings when a throw from the India cricketer hit Daryl Mitchell on his body. While tempers flared for a brief moment on the field, both cricketers shook hands and Arshdeep even apologised to Mitchell after the match.
