Shaun Williams has been sanctioned for voicing his dissatisfaction with the umpire's decision. The ICC's highest governing body reprimanded him for violating the code of conduct.
In addition to the reprimand, the Rhodesian cricketer has also received a demerit point. The ICC confirmed the punishment in a statement issued on Wednesday.
In the ongoing Zimbabwe-Pakistan series, an incident occurred during the 26th over of Zimbabwe's innings in the second ODI. The umpire ruled Shaun Williams leg before wicket off Saim Ayub, but Williams contested the decision, claiming the ball had struck his bat. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the call on the field.
Williams was charged with breaching the code of conduct for criticizing the umpire's decision. However, he admitted his guilt to match referee Andy Pycroft, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
