DUBAI: Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura has been suspended for two ODIs for a slow over-rate during his side’s first One-Day International against Pakistan in Lahore on Tuesday.
The Zimbabwe side was ruled to be three overs short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.
As such, ICC remote match referee Roshan Mahanama handed Chigumbura two suspension points while each of his players received a 40-percent fine (10 percent for each of the first two overs and 20 percent for the third over), as required in Appendix 2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which deals with minimum over-rate requirements.
Chigumbura will now miss Zimbabwe’s final two ODIs to be played in Lahore on Friday and Sunday.
