The incident involving the South African allrounder occurred during the second T20I against Australia in Darwin.
Allrounder Corbin Bosch has been sanctioned for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during South Africa’s second T20I against Australia on Tuesday.
Bosch breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “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.”
The incident took place in the 17th over of Australia’s innings when, after dismissing Ben Dwarshuis, Bosch gestured towards the player’s dugout in a send-off that could have provoked an aggressive reaction from the batter.
For the offence, one demerit point has been added to Bosch’s disciplinary record. He accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC Match Officials, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
There was plenty at stake for South Africa, who came in 1-0 down and aiming to take the series to a decider.
After a shaky start, the visitors were lifted by a brilliant knock from young Dewald Brevis, whose unbeaten 125 off just 56 balls powered them to 218/7.
