Aaron Finch reprimanded for inappropriate language against England

The Australia skipper has received one demerit point

Aaron Finch has been reprimanded by the ICC for using inappropriate language during the first T20I between Australia and England in Perth.

The Australia skipper swore during the ninth over of England's innings when he was deliberating over whether to review a caught behind chance against Jos Buttler. Finch asked the umpire if the ball carried and was unsatisfied with the response.

The missed review did not cost Australia, however, as a replay indicated there was no contact with the Buttler's bat.

Finch was found to have breached article 2.3 of the ICC code of conduct, namely "using an audible obscenity during an international match".

After admitting the offence, he received an official reprimand and had one demerit point added to his disciplinary record – his first in the past 24 months.

When a player accumulated four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are suspended.
