Zimbabwe attacker found guilty of violating ICC Code of Conduct

In addition to the reprimand, Williams also had a demerit point added to his disciplinary record, his first offense in 24 months.

On-field umpires Michael Gough and Forster Mutizwa, along with third umpire Iknow Chabi and fourth umpire Langton Rusere, equalized the scrum.

Williams pleaded guilty and accepted the sanction recommended by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Match Referee Panel, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.

Level 1 breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct attract a penalty of one or two penalty points, as well as a minimum penalty of official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50% of the player’s match fee.
