During India Clash, Gerald Coetzee Reprimanded For Breaching ICC Code Of Conduct

November 19, 2024: South African pacer Gerald Coetzee has received a reprimand and a demerit point on his disciplinary record following an incident during the fourth T20I between South Africa and India in Johannesburg.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that Coetzee made an inappropriate comment to the umpire after one of his deliveries was called a wide during the 15th over of India’s innings.

South Africa pacer Gerald Coetzee has received a reprimand and a demerit point added to his disciplinary record following an incident that happened during the fourth T20I against India in Johannesburg.

While bowling the 15th over of the Indian innings, Coetzee is noted to have made an inappropriate comment to the umpire after the latter signalled one of his deliveries as a wide.

The 24-year-old admitted to breaching the ICC’s Level 1 offence under the ICC Code of Conduct, specifically Article 2.1.7, which pertains to conduct contrary to the spirit of the game. As a result, Coetzee has been reprimanded, and a demerit point has been added to his record. Additionally, he faced a 50% fine on his match fee, as imposed by the match referee, Andy Pycroft.

This reprimand comes after a disappointing 3-1 series loss for South Africa in the T20I series against India, where Coetzee’s actions were one of the few negative headlines. Despite this, Coetzee has been named in South Africa’s squad for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, set to start on November 27.

Takeaways:

  • Coetzee’s reprimand highlights the importance of maintaining discipline on the field, especially when tensions run high during matches.
  • India’s dominant performance in the fourth T20I showcased their batting strength, with Samson and Varma making history with their record-breaking partnership.
  • South Africa will need to regroup as they head into the Test series against Sri Lanka, with Coetzee looking to make amends and contribute positively in the longer format.
