Kranti Goud Fined After Asia Cup Final

India’s women’s team, fresh from winning the Asia Cup title, received an unexpected setback as young pacer Kranti Goud was penalised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). She was fined 10% of her match fee and handed one demerit point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka.

Level-1 Code of Conduct violations can attract an official warning or a fine of up to 50% of a player’s match fee, along with one or two demerit points. The demerit point awarded to Kranti Goud is her first in the last 24 months.
