ICC INTRODUCES CHANGES TO CODE OF CONDUCT

The International Cricket Council has introduced changes to the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, effective 22 September 2016.

There has been no change to the list of offences in the Code of Conduct, or the current penalty regime of warnings/fines/suspensions applicable to each offence, but players who have breached the Code will now also accumulate Demerit Points, which can see repeat offenders suspended. Demerit Points will remain with a player for two years, and all players will start with a zero balance from 22 September to coincide with the introduction of these changes.

The new ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel can be read here, with the changes confined to Article 7 of the Code.

The new DRS playing conditions relating to the LBW ‘Umpire’s Call” will also come into effect on 22 September, with the first match to be played under these regulations the ODI between South Africa and Ireland in Benoni on Sunday.
