Wanindu Hasaranga gets a disfavored mark and a fine from ICC

Published

on

Wanindu Hassaranga has been cautioned against violating the International Cricket Council’s doctrine during the third and final ODI against Afghanistan on the 30th.

Wanindu was found guilty of breaching Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct or “disputing the decision of an umpire in an international match” in this match, for which he was awarded one demerit point and a maximum fine of 50% of the match fee.

During this match, Hasaranga’s decision to take the wicket of Najibullah Sadun in his third over was overturned after initially being flagged for dismissal by the on-field umpire.

Disappointed by the decision, Vanidu expressed his displeasure by pointing his finger at the giant screen.

The match referee Mr Ranjan Madugalla, who considered this incident, said that since Hasaranga admitted the fault, no further investigation would be conducted.

මේ තරගය අතරතුර, හසරංගගේ තෙවැනි ඕවරයේ දී නජිබුල්ලා සදුන්ගේ කඩුල්ල මුවා කිරීමේ තීන්දුව ප්‍රතික්‍ෂේප වූයේ මුලින් පිටියේ විනිසුරු විසින් දැවී යාමෙන් සළකුණු කිරීමෙන් පසුවයි.

එම තීරණයෙන් කලකිරුණු වනිදු යෝධ තිරය දෙසට ඇඟිල්ල දිගු කරමින් සිය අපසාදය පළ කළා.

මේ සිද්ධිය සම්භන්ධයෙන් සලකා බැලූ තරග තීරක රන්ජන් මඩුගල්ල මහතා හසරංග වරද පිළිගත් බැවින් ඒ සම්භන්ධයෙන් වැඩිදුර විමර්ශනයක් සිදු නොවන බව පැවසීය.
