Support Personnel
, which relates to Where the facts of
the alleged incident are not
adequately or clearly covered by any
of the above offences, conduct that
either : (a) is contrary to the spirit of
the game; or (b) brings the game into
disrepute.

The charges were leveled by on-field
umpires Simon Fry and Ruchira
Palliyaguruge, third umpire Steve
Davis and fourth umpire Raveendra
