India bowler Gurnoor Brar has been given an official warning by the ICC for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first ODI against England in Birmingham on July 14.
Brar was found guilty of breaching Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. The article relates to throwing a ball at or near a player in an inappropriate or dangerous manner during an international match.
The incident took place in the eighth over of England's innings. While fielding, Brar picked up the ball and threw it towards the batter in an inappropriate and dangerous manner.
Along with the warning, one demerit point has been added to Brar's disciplinary record. This is his first offence in a 24-month period.
Brar admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. As a result, there was no need for a formal hearing.
