Ireland batter Harry Tector was fined fifteen percent of his match money for violating the first level of the ICC Code of Conduct during the Belfast one-off Test match against Zimbabwe.

Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with "showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match," was judged to have been broken by Tector.

Furthermore, Tector's disciplinary record now has one demerit point added to it; this was his first offense in a 24-month span.

The incident happened on Saturday in the sixth over of Ireland's second innings. Tector delayed leaving the field and gestured at the umpire, expressing his disapproval of the decision to be declared caught behind the wicket. He also tossed his gloves and bat as he was leaving the field.

Tector admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, third umpire Mark Hawthorne and fourth umpire Jonathan Kennedy levelled the charge.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

However, in the match, Ireland beat Zimbabwe by 4 wickets to register their maiden Test victory on home soil on Sunday (28th July).
