Rossouw found guilty for Tamim shoulder barge

Monday, 13 July 2015


The ICC has found Rilee Rossouw guilty of breaching their Code of Conduct and docked 50% of his match fee, after he was involved in a shoulder-barging incident with Tamim Iqbal during the second ODI in Mirpur. The incident in question occurred after Tamim was bowled off an inside edge during Kagiso Rabada's first over. Rossouw, who was walking towards the huddle that had gathered around Rabada near the broken stumps, went across Tamim and appeared to nudge his left shoulder. Tamim immediately pointed this out to the umpires, who possibly missed the incident as they were looking to retrieve the ball from the bowler. Rossouw was found to have breached Article 2.2.7 of the code. Rossouw pleaded guilty to the charge laid by the match referee David Boon and the subsequent penalty was accepted without the need for a formal hearing, according to espncricinfo.com.
