Yuvraj not guilty

Melbourne: Yuvraj Singh was found not guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct by match referee Mike Procter after a hearing during India’s first Test against Australia here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The left-handed batsman was charged with breaching Level 1.3 of the ICC Code, which pertains to showing dissent at an umpire’s decision by action or verbal abuse.

The charge, laid by the four umpires on duty in the match, on-field officials Billy Bowden and Mark Benson, third umpire Steve Davis and fourth umpire John Ward, related to an incident on day two when Yuvraj, given out caught behind off Stuart Clark, stood his ground.

Procter said: “It was evident that Yuvraj took more time than normal to leave the crease but it was due to the fact that he was shocked at the decision. At no stage he showed displeasure or dissent at the umpire’s decision.”

If found guilty, the penalties for a Level 1 offence range from an official reprimand to a maximum penalty of a fifty per cent fine of a player’s match fee.
