Mohammad Siraj Fined for ICC Code Breach During Lord's Test vs England
The breach falls under Article 2.5 of the ICC Code, which deals with the use of language, actions, or gestures that disparage or could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal.
The incident occurred in the sixth over of England's second innings. After dismissing opener Ben Duckett, Siraj celebrated excessively and in close proximity to the batter. This act was found to be in violation of the code.
In addition to the fine, one demerit point was added to Siraj's disciplinary record. This was his second offence in a 24-month period, bringing his total to two demerit points. The earlier point was issued during the second Test against Australia in Adelaide on 7 December 2024.
Siraj accepted the penalty, so no formal hearing was required.
The charge was levied by the on-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, with third umpire Ahsan Raza and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd also involved in the process.
Level 1 offences can carry a range of penalties, from an official reprimand to a 50% match fee deduction, and one or two demerit points.

Harleen Deol criticised for 'embarrassing' run-out as Deepti Sharma fires India to win over England: 'Inexcusable stuff'
Indian women's cricket team fans did not held back as they blasted Harleen Deol for a poor run-out during the first ODI against England at Southampton on Wednesday as Deepti Sharma saved the blushes. read more Harleen Deol suffered a bizarre run-out against England in the first ODI against England at The Rose Bowl, Southampton, but a brilliant half-century from Deepti Sharma and a fine spell from all-rounder Sneh Rana guided the visitors to a four-wicket win and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. England won the toss and opted to bat first. Pacer Kranti Goud reduced England to 20/2, getting rid of openers Tammy Beaumont (5) and Amy Jones (1) quickly. A 71-run third-wicket stand between Emma Lamb (39 in 50 balls, with four boundaries) and captain Nat Sciver Brunt (41 in 52 balls, with five fours) helped England stabilise before spinner Sneh Rana removed both, reducing them to 97/4 in 20.1 overs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A century stand for the fourth-wicket between Sophia Dunkley (83 in 92 balls, with nine fours) and Davidson Richards (53 in 73 balls, with two fours) averted any possible disaster while Sophie Ecclestone's quick cameo of 23* took England to a solid 258/6 in 50 overs. Rana (2/31) and Goud (2/55) took two wickets each, while Amanjot Kaur and Shree Charani got one each. During a chase of 259 runs, openers Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana (28 in 24 balls, with five fours) delivered a solid start with a 48-run stand. Rawal (36 in 51 balls with three fours) had another 46-run stand with Harleen Deol (27 in 44 balls, with four boundaries), but disaster struck India as they lost Rawal, Deol and skipper Harmanpreet (17) in quick succession, reduced to 124/4 in 27.1 overs. Deol's dismissal went viral immediately as the Indian batter faced criticism for her poor technique. The incident took place in the 22nd over when she tapped a Charlie Dean delivery to mid-on and set off for a single. She had a headstart and would have been in the crease comfortably before Alice Davidson-Richards affected a direct hit, but Deol blundered by not grounding her bat as she was given out by the third umpire. Watch the incident here: Direct hit. GONE. ADR, quick hands 🔥 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 16, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Fans slam Harleen Deo after bizarre run-out Fans were also pretty disappointed with Deol's run-out as they expressed frustration on social media. 'Harleen Deol is lucky Sunil Gavaskar does not commentate on women's cricket. Unexcusable stuff for a gully cricketer that. Let alone international cricket,' a fan wrote on X. Another fan said: 'Absolutely embarrassing running between the wickets that from Harleen Deol.' Nevertheless, Jemimah Rodrigues (48 in 54 balls, with five fours) struck an 87-run stand for the fifth wicket with Deepti Sharma, taking the team past 200 runs. While Richa Ghosh was removed early after Jemimah's dismissal, Deepti (62* in 64 balls, with three fours and a six) and Amanjot Kaur (20* in 14 balls with three fours) stuck around to give India a four-wicket win with 10 balls left. Dean (2/52) was England's top bowler, while Kate Cross, Ecclestone and Lauren Filer got one each. With agency inputs
