West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has been charged with breaching the ICC Code of Conduct for claiming a catch off Misbah-ul-Haq during the Champions Trophy match against Pakistan at The Oval.
Ramdin has pleaded not guilty and will attend a hearing on Monday.
Ramdin was charged with breaching article 2.2.11 of the ICC Code of
Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to
"conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game". The range of
penalties for all first Level 2 breaches are fines of between 50-100% of
a player's match fees and/or suspension for up to two ODIs.
The incident took place in the ninth over of the Pakistan innings, when
Misbah bottom-edged a Kemar Roach delivery to Ramdin. The wicketkeeper
initially appeared to have caught the ball but lost control of it as he
fell forward, and it slipped out of his gloves on to the grass. Instead
of bringing his mistake to the notice of the umpires or his team-mates,
Ramdin returned the ball to the square-leg umpire and joined his
team-mates in the celebratory huddle.
