The ICC has issued an official warning to Shefali Verma following an on-field conduct violation during India's second T20 international against Zimbabwe. The Indian vice-captain threw the ball to the ground in apparent frustration after dropping a catch during the match.
In addition to the formal reprimand, a demerit point has been recorded against Verma's name in the ICC's disciplinary system. The sanction was applied following a review of the incident by match officials.
Verma accepted responsibility for her actions, acknowledging the violation of the ICC's Code of Conduct governing player behaviour on the field. Her acceptance of the charge meant that a formal hearing was not required, expediting the disciplinary process.
The demerit point system is designed to monitor player conduct over time, with accumulated points potentially leading to further sanctions including fines, suspension, or other penalties depending on the severity and frequency of infractions.
