Australia skipper Aaron Finch has been reprimanded for breach of using inappropriate language during T20I game against England. Finch was caught using foul language on the stump mic of the first innings.

 

The incident took place during the ninth over of the first innings. He has been charged for breach of Level 1 ICC Code of Conduct. The Article 2.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct states such act as an offence as “use of an audible obscenity during an international match”.

 

The 35-year-old has been handed one demerit point in his disciplinary record after the batter admitted the offence after the match. Match referee David Boon was the one to hand out the sanction to the Aussie skipper.
