US EditionENG vs IND, 3rd Test: Mohammed Siraj Fined for Ben Duckett Send-Off
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 14 – Mohammed Siraj received a 15% match fee fine and one demerit point for breaching ICC rules with an aggressive celebration after dismissing Ben Duckett, marking his second offence in 24 months.
- On Sunday, 13 July 2025, during the fourth day of the third Test at Lord's, Mohammed Siraj was penalized by the ICC, losing 15 percent of his match fee due to an overly forceful celebration following the dismissal of Ben Duckett.
- Mohammed Siraj violated a provision of the ICC Code of Conduct that prohibits players from using language, gestures, or behavior that might incite a hostile response from a batsman after being dismissed.
- During the sixth over of England's second innings, Siraj celebrated loudly and made physical contact with Duckett as he was returning to the pavilion.
- Siraj acknowledged the offence and agreed to the penalty, resulting in an additional demerit point that brings his count to two within a 24-month period, the first having been received during the December 2024 Adelaide Test against Australia.
- This fine highlights the ICC's ongoing enforcement of conduct standards and signals that Siraj must avoid further breaches to prevent potential bans in future matches.
