CAIRNS: Australia\u2019s leg-spinner Adam Zampa has been officially reprimanded for the use of an audible obscenity during the first ODI against South Africa on August 19 in Cairns.<\/p>\n
It was Zampa\u2019s first offence within a 24-month period, and he received one demerit point for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in the 37th over of South Africa\u2019s innings, when Zampa was heard using inappropriate language over the stump microphone following a misfield and an overthrow while bowling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was charged under Article 2.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which covers the use of audible obscenities during an international match.<\/p>\n
No formal hearing was required, as the 33-year-old admitted his mistake and accepted the sanction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Level 1 offences carry a minimum penalty of a reprimand, with a maximum of a 50% fine of a player\u2019s match fee, in addition to one or two demerit points.<\/p>\n
In the match, Australia suffered a 98-run defeat, with Zampa taking 1 for 58 in his ten overs. The second and third ODIs will be played in Mackay on Friday and Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Australia had earlier secured the T20I series 2-1 against South Africa.<\/p>\n
