Violation of this rule by Matthew Wade
The 18th over of Australia’s innings was bowled by England’s Adil Rashid. Matthew refused to play on one ball of Rashid’s over. Before Rashid bowled, Matthew showed him his hand and said that I am unfit to play. But Rashid played the ball instead of leaving it. After this, the umpire expected that the ball would be declared dead to Matthew. But that did not happen. So Matthew argued with the umpire and expressed his displeasure.
Matthew Wade violated ICC rule 2.8 for players and players associations. These rules provide for expressing disagreement with umpires’ decisions during international matches. Matthew is to be given a demerit point for breaking the rule. This was the first time in 2 years for Matthew. Matthew admits he was wrong. Meanwhile, Australia will play their next match against Namibia on June 12. The match will be held at Vivian Richards Stadium, Itingwa
