LONDON, June 30: Denesh Ramdin, the West Indies’ wicket-keeper, has been officially reprimanded for breaching the ICC's Code of Conduct during the second Twenty20 International against England at The Oval on Friday.

Ramdin pleaded guilty to breaching clause 1.3 of the Code which concerned ‘showing dissent at an umpire's decision.’ The charge related to a comment made by Ramdin to umpire Nigel Llong at the end of an over in which Ramdin had an appeal for a catch turned down by Llong.

“The player was clearly disappointed that an appeal had been turned down by umpire Llong,” said Mike Proctor, the match referee.

Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50% of a player's match fee.—Agencies
