South African cricketer Heinrich Klaasen has been fined 15% of his match fee for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second ODI against Pakistan in Cape Town on Thursday.
Klaasen breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which covers “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment, or fixtures and fittings during an international match.”
The incident occurred after Klaasen was dismissed on the last ball of the match, during which he kicked the stumps in frustration.
As part of the sanction, one demerit point has been added to Klaasen’s disciplinary record. This is his first offence in a 24-month period.
Klaasen admitted to the offence and accepted the penalty suggested by Richie Richardson, a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. As a result, a formal hearing was not required.
