India Player Sanctioned for Ball Incident During England's Innings in Leeds Test
During Day 3 of the Leeds Test match, Indian player Rishabh Pant expressed dissent towards the umpires' decision regarding the ball condition. Pant accepted the sanction imposed by Richie Richardson without a disciplinary hearing. The incident involved on-field umpires Gaffaney and Reiffel, third umpire Shahid, and fourth umpire Burns. The penalty for the Level 1 breach ranges from an official reprimand to a 50% match fee deduction and up to two demerit points. The match is poised for an exciting Day 5, with England needing 350 runs to win with all wickets remaining.
In the 61st over of England's innings, Rishabh Pant was seen discussing with the umpires about the ball's condition while Harry Brook and Ben Stokes were batting. When the umpires declined to change the ball after inspection, Pant expressed his dissatisfaction by throwing it on the ground in front of them.
No disciplinary hearing took place as Pant confessed to the offense and agreed to the penalty suggested by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees. The charges were filed by on-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, and fourth umpire Mike Burns.
Level 1 breaches can result in an official reprimand, a fine of up to 50% of the player's match fee, and one or two demerit points. The Leeds Test is evenly poised, with the hosts requiring 350 runs to win on Day 5 with all 10 wickets remaining.
