India cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur has been suspended for the next two international matches following two separate breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct, the council said on Tuesday.

The incidents, for which many slammed the Kaur, occurred during the third match of the ICC Women’s Championship series against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Saturday.

A couple of Indian women’s team skipper’s videos kicking wickets, speaking about umpiring, and teasing the Bangladesh women’s cricket team skipper at the presentation ceremony were trending on social media. Her name was among the top trends on social media.

Kaur was fined 50 per cent of her match fee for the Level 2 offence and received three demerit points on her disciplinary record.

She was found guilty of breaching article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, relating to “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision”.

The Indian women’s team captain was also fined 25% of her match fee for a Level 1 offence relating to “public criticism in relation to an incident occurring in an international match” when, during the presentation ceremony, Kaur openly criticised the umpiring in the match.

She used the word “pathetic” for the umpiring and reiterated her disappointment at the presentation ceremony. Moreover, she asked for umpires when the two skippers were posing for the trophy as the series was tied.

Kaur admitted the offences and agreed to the sanctions proposed by the ICC international panel of match referees.

A Level 2 breach, according to the cricket council, “typically carries a penalty ranging from 50 to 100 per cent of the player’s match fee, and three or four demerit points, while a Level 1 breach entails a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, up to a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of the player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points”.

In Kaur’s instance, the accumulation of four demerit points converted to two suspension points. This means she would be suspended from either one Test match or two ODIs or two T20Is, whichever comes first for the team.
