In a recent test match between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo, players Yashaswi Jaiswal and Asitha Fernando were penalized for inappropriate physical contact on the field. The incident occurred during the first day's play of the second Test match, taking place after Fernando dismissed Jaiswal off the last ball of the 17th over on the first morning.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), the two players exchanged words following the dismissal, resulting in their heads making contact. This breach of Article 2.12 of the ICC's code of conduct for players and player support personnel led to both Jaiswal and Fernando receiving a 25% deduction from their match fees, along with a demerit point added to their respective disciplinary records.
Neither player had a similar offense in the past 24 months. Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum fine of 50% of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points.
