WI’s spinner Nurse handed one demerit point for foul language
DHAKA, Aug 6, 2018 (BSS)- West Indies off-spinner Ashley Nurse has been
handed one demerit point for using inappropriate language during the third
and final T20I against Bangladesh at Lauderhill on Monday, source cric buzz.
Nurse, after he was hit for a boundary off the last ball of his first
over, used “inappropriate language,” which was registered on the stump
microphone. The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Gregory Brathwaite
and Nigel Duguid, third umpire Joel Wilson and fourth umpire Leslie Reifer.
Nurse was found guilty of breaching Article 2.1.4 of the ICC Code of
Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using
language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an
International Match”.
Nurse now has accrued a total of two demerit points. He had copped one
demerit point earlier in 2017, when he was reprimanded for showing dissent
during the first ODI against Afghanistan.
