Six players warned

DHAKA, FEB. 24. Six breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct have been reported in the opening 32 matches of the ICC under-19 cricket World Cup here.

Four Indian players, one English and one South African have all been found guilty by ICC Match Referees after reports were lodged by the match umpires.

K. Dinesh Kaarthick, Sunny Singh and Suresh Raina were all reprimanded and warned of their future conduct after being found guilty of breaching Level 2.6 of the Code by appealing in an aggressive manner in India's group match against Bangladesh on Feb. 20.

On the same day, England's Thomas New and South Africa's Roelof van der Merwe were given official reprimands after their teams' encounter. They were both found guilty of dissent at umpiring decisions.

India's Gaurav Dhiman was reported by the umpires for gesturing to the pavilion in an aggressive manner after dismissing a South African batsman in the Feb. 22 contest. Dhiman pleaded guilty to a breach of Level 1.6 and was also officially reprimanded.

The standard ICC Code of Conduct is in operation in the championship, although fines do not apply. If any of the above players commits a repeat offence they will face a ban. — Our Sports Reporter
