South African batter David Miller was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during his side’s ICC Men’s Super Eight match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 against England.
The left-handed batter was handed an official reprimand over the Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the final stages of the South African innings.
Furthermore, one demerit point has been added to Miller’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred in the 19th over when the South African batter faced a full toss delivery from Sam Curran and signalled for a review, expecting it to be called a no-ball.
However, a review is not possible in such decisions, so umpires disregarded his appeal, leading him to show dissent and breach Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
The charges were levelled by the on-field umpires Chris Brown and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, third umpire Joel Wilson, and fourth umpire Chris Gaffaney.
For the unversed, if a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned.
Notably, David Miller was a notable contributor to South Africa’s narrow-victory over England with a 28-ball 43 which featured four fours and two sixes.
