Rashada Williams of the West Indies has been fined 15 per cent of her match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 match against Ireland in Cape Town on Friday.

Williams was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match.

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Williams’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the sixth over of West Indies’ innings, when Williams made deliberate physical contact with bowler Leah Paul after being run out.

Williams admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Shandre Fritz of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Eloise Sheridan and Vrinda Rathi, third umpire Lauren Agenbag and fourth umpire N Janani levelled the charge.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

NOTES TO EDITORS:

*When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned 

**Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player 

***Demerit Points to remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel’s disciplinary record for a period of twenty-four (24) months from their imposition following which they will be expunged
