Canada's Harsh Thaker fined 30% of match fee for dissent during Scotland match, handed demerit points

Canada all-rounder Harsh Thaker has been fined 30 per cent of his match fee and handed two demerit points for showing dissent at an umpire's decision during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 fixture against Scotland in Dundee on Friday. Thaker was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match.

The incident took place at the end of the 26th over when Thaker reacted angrily after the on-field umpire turned down Canada's leg-before-wicket appeal. The Canadian all-rounder flailed his arms and shook his head in disappointment. After receiving his cap back from the umpire, Thaker also gestured towards members of Canada's coaching staff, indicating that he believed the batter was out.
