Ireland batter fined for showing dissent during one-off Test against Zimbabwe
Harry Tector has been fined 15 per cent of match fees for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the Belfast Test match against Zimbabwe.
Tector was found to have breached the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, relating to “showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match.”
This was the first offence for the Ireland batter in a 24-month period and one demerit has been added to his disciplinary record.
The incident occurred in the sixth over of Ireland's second innings when Tector raised objections after being caught behind. He delayed leaving the field and also gestured at the umpire as noted by the match official.
Another landmark moment for Andrew Balbirnie and Ireland's men 🏏

There was no disciplinary hearing as Tector admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
