Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Prithvi Shaw has been reprimanded for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during Sunday's fixture against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).


The blistering opener has been fined 25% of his match fee.


According to the official statement, Shaw has admitted to Level 01 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which pertains to 'offensive gestures' towards the officials or the opposition.


The statement read:


"Mr Shaw admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction,"


"For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding. Level 1 offence pertains to gestures towards umpires or opposition,"


"Article 2.2 relates to the course of normal cricket actions, such as hitting or kicking the wickets and any action(s) which deliberately (i.e. intentionally), recklessly or negligently (in either case even if accidental) results in damage to the advertising boards, boundary fences, dressing room doors, mirrors, windows and other fixtures and fittings,"


"For example, this offence may be committed, without limitation, when a player swings his/her bat vigorously in frustration and causes damage to an advertising board."


Shaw was dismissed on a 7-ball five after he top-edged a bumper from Dushmantha Chameera during Delhi's run-chase of 196 against the Super Giants.


Blistering knocks from Mitchell Marsh, skipper Rishabh Pant, Rovman Powell and Axar Patel kept DC in the hunt, but none of those batters stayed long enough to make a lasting impact.


The Super Giants rode on half-centuries from KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda to post 195 in 20 overs, a target they eventually defended despite a late threat from Axar and Kuldeep.

Cricket Ireland appoint Brian MacNeice as new Chair of Board

In recent developments, Brian MacNeice has been appointed the Chairman of Cricket Ireland following the board's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday, May 1. Since last year, MacNeice, who served as the Vice-Chairman of Cricket Ireland, has replaced Ross McCollum for the coveted position. McCollum leaves office after having served the role for almost a decade. He had taken over as Chairman back in 2012. The Irish cricket board confirmed the development through an official press release. Following his appointment, MacNeice termed it an 'incredible honour' for him to assume the Chair of Board. He also expressed his gratitude towards McCollum, the outgoing chairman and acknowledged his immense contribution to Irish Cricket. He said: "It is an incredible honour and somewhat humbling to assume the role of Chair. I am acutely aware of the responsibility that comes with this position, and will work to my best endeavours in the best interests of Irish cricket at all times. We have such a vibrant sport with the potential for enormous growth over coming years, and I hope to play a part in guiding the sport into the next phase of its development." "I would like to acknowledge Ross McCollum for his immense contribution over the last decade in the Chair's role – spending the last 12 months working closely with Ross has provided a great insight into how committed he is about the improvement of Irish Cricket, and he should be very proud of what has been achieved under his stewardship. Our standing with major stakeholders domestically and internationally has grown immeasurably in his time in the role," the newly-appointed chairman added. MacNeice has been a part of the system for a year now, and he understands the challenges that come with the role. The newly-appointed chairman was involved in development of three strategic plans laid out by Cricket Ireland. In his statement, he acknowledged that there is still a lot of work to do regarding the growth of the game in Ireland. Further, MacNeice stressed the importance of having a strong grassroots, adding that the role of local clubs is very important in this regard. Also, he emphasized on the growth opportunities for young boys and girls are immense, and ensuring this, remains a top priority for Cricket Ireland. MacNeice was appointed to the Board of Cricket Ireland two years ago and has more than 30 years of experience in consulting across a diverse range of industries.
