ICC Code of Conduct Enforcement: India’s premier fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has been officially sanctioned for an on-field incident following his dramatic send-off of England opener Ben Duckett during the crucial third Test at the Mecca of Cricket. The Lord’s dismissal celebration resulted in a 15% match fee penalty and automatic Level One disciplinary action under the sport’s strict conduct regulations.
Cricket’s governing body has launched disciplinary proceedings after Friday’s sixth over incident during England’s critical second innings. According to official match report SIR-4573 and ICC Article 2.5, Siraj’s behavior qualified as “extreme proximity-based celebration” that might reasonably provoke aggression from the dismissed player – an unacceptable breach of sports decorum.
This disciplinary mark establishes Siraj’s second Code of Conduct breach within 24 months, following December 7, 2024’s Adelaide Test grounds incident. Management sources warn that players accumulating four total demerit points within rolling 24-month periods face automatic match suspensions across international formats.
Siraj demonstrated the sportsmanship expected of international cricketers by promptly accepting the sanctions proposed by Caribbean arbitration specialist Richie Richardson. The violation assessment came from combined umpires’ report (#MRO-1128) submitted by on-field officials Paul Reiffel and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, with third umpire Ahsan Raza and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd in formal agreement.
