In a disciplinary action by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Indian men’s cricket team incurred a penalty equivalent to 100% of the match cost for maintaining a slow over rate during the World Test Championship (WTC) finals. Meanwhile, Team Australia faced a fine amounting to 80% of their match fee.
The assessment took into consideration the time allowances, revealing that Australia fell short by four overs, whereas India lagged behind by five overs. According to the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, players who cause delays in bowling an over are subject to a fine equal to 20% of their WTC match fee.
The ICC stated on Monday (June 12) that Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel specifies that players incur a fine of 20% of their match fee for each over not bowled within the allotted time.
Shortly after the conclusion of the WTC match on the final day, it was confirmed that India would forfeit their entire match fees for the slow over rate, while Australia would face an 80% deduction.
The Indian players, consisting of 11 members, each receive a salary of Rs 15 lakh for every Test, while the reserve players earn a salary of Rs 7.5 lakh each.
Additionally, Indian opener Shubman Gill faced a charge for breaching Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which pertains to public criticism or inappropriate comments regarding an incident occurring in an international match.
Gill’s post on social media after television umpire Richard Kettleborough’s ruling that Cameron Green’s catch should have resulted in a dismissal on the fourth day of the contest gave the impression that the young batsman was dissatisfied with the decision.
