The suspension means that she will be missing two matches in the upcoming Asian Games in September-October in Hangzhou, China. <\/p>\n
Kaur’s frustration became evident when she was given out on 14, prompting her to vent her anger by hitting the stumps. Following the match, she publicly criticised the umpiring, branding it as “pathetic.”
“Kaur was fined 50 per cent of her match fee and three demerit points were added to her disciplinary record for a Level 2 offence after she was found guilty of breaching article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to \u201cshowing dissent at an umpire\u2019s decision,” an ICC media statement read.<\/p>\n
“Kaur was also fined 25 per cent of her match fee for a Level 1 offence after she was found guilty of breaching article 2.7, which relates to \u201cpublic criticism in relation to an incident occurring in an international match,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
The first incident occurred in the 34th over of India\u2019s innings when Kaur hit the wickets with her bat in a show of dissent after she was adjudged caught at slip off spinner Nahida Akter. The other incident was during the presentation ceremony when Kaur criticized the umpiring in the match.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n“Kaur admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Akhtar Ahmed of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing,” the statement read.
On-field umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Muhammad Kamruzzaman, third umpire Moniruzzamman and fourth umpire Ali Arman leveled the charges.
A Level 2 breach carries a penalty of between 50 and 100 per cent of a player\u2019s match fee and three or four demerit points while a Level 1 breach carries a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player\u2019s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
“Kaur\u2019s four demerit points convert to two suspension points. As two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player or player support personnel, Kaur stands suspended from India\u2019s forthcoming matches,” the ICC added.<\/div>\n
