In a recent development during the ongoing Test series between India and England, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has been fined 15% of his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct. The fine comes in the wake of his aggressive celebration following the dismissal of England batter Ben Duckett. The incident took place on Day 3 of the second Test at Lord’s, where Siraj dismissed Duckett with a sharp delivery that induced an edge to the slip cordon. Immediately after the wicket, Siraj was seen charging towards the batter and letting out a fiery celebration that, according to the match officials, crossed the line of acceptable conduct under ICC regulations.
