Stuart Broad fined for inappropriate language in England win over Pakistan

Stuart Broad has been fined and handed one demerit point for breaching the ICC’s code of conduct during England’s three-wicket Test victory over Pakistan.

The incident took place in the 46th over of Pakistan’s second innings with the altercation occuring with Yasir Shah after dismissing the spinner.

Broad breached Article 2.5 by “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”

Broad has accepted the sanction after admitting to the offence, ensuring there was no need for a formal hearing.

The second Test against Pakistan will begin on Thursday at the Ageas Bowl.
