Which Indian Women Player suspended next two international matches for breaching ICC Code of Conduct?

A)
Smriti Mandhana
B)
Shafali Verma
C)
Deepti Sharma
D)
Harmanpreet Kaur

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Harmanpreet Kaur



India captain "Harmanpreet Kaur" has been suspended for her team’s next two international games, after she smashed the stumps and verbally lashed out at the umpires, following two separate breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third match of their ICC Women’s Championship series against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Saturday.

The suspension means that she will be missing two matches in the upcoming Asian Games in September-October in Hangzhou, China.

Kaur's frustration became evident when she was given out on  on 14, prompting her to vent her anger by hitting the stumps. Following the match, she publicly criticised the umpiring,  branding it as "pathetic."

"Kaur was fined 50 per cent of her match fee and three demerit points were added to her disciplinary record for a Level 2 offence after she was found guilty of breaching article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “showing dissent at an umpire’s  decision," an ICC media statement read.

Kaur was also fined 25 per cent of her match fee for a Level 1 offence after she was found guilty of breaching article 2.7, which relates to “public criticism in relation to an incident occurring in an international match”..
