Zimbabwe veteran fined for dissent in victory over Namibia

The all-rounder breached Article 2.8 (Level 1) of the ICC Code of Conduct after showing "dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match."

The incident occurred in the 16th over of Zimbabwe's innings after Raza was given out lbw to opposition captain Gerhard Erasmus on 37.

Raza gestured by showing his bat to the umpire before questioning the official as he walked off the ground, again venting his frustration upon entering the home dressing room.

In addition to the fine, Raza now has his first two demerit points on his disciplinary record.

No formal hearing will occur after Raza admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee Andy Pycroft, with the charges originally levelled by Iknow Chabi and Langton Rusere as well as third umpire Forster Mutizwa.

Zimbabwe held on to victory in the first of five T20Is at the Queens Sports Club ground, defending 153.

The second of five T20Is between the teams will be played out on Thursday.
