England’s Sophie Ecclestone sanctioned for Commonwealth Games incident

"Ecclestone was found to have knocked over her chair on the way back to the pavilion after being dismissed in the 18th over of England's innings, with the incident deemed to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel," an ICC statement read.

"The breach was found to be a Level 1 incident, with Ecclestone admitting the offence and accepting the sanction proposed by match referee GS Lakshmi."

This was Ecclestone's first offence over the last two years. She will now need to ensure no further sanctions as suspensions can follow should players offend on multiple occasions. Otherwise, as per ICC rules, when a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period those are converted into suspension points and two suspension points consider to be a ban of one Test match, two ODIS or two T20Is.
