The International Cricket Council: Pakistan women's team captain Fatima Sana has been officially reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first T20 International against Ireland in Dublin on Wednesday. The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the development in a media release on Thursday.

The incident took place in the 13th over of Pakistan’s innings when Fatima was adjudged caught behind. The 22-year-old all-rounder, however, stayed at the crease with her hands on her hips and walked off slowly, actions interpreted as dissent towards the umpire’s decision.

The ICC stated that Fatima was found to have breached Article 2.8 of its Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during an international match.”
