Women's World Cup: South Africa’s Nonkululeko Mlaba Reprimanded For Code Of Conduct Breach
International Cricket Council: South Africa spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has been officially reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for breaching the Code of Conduct during her team’s win over India in the Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 in Visakhapatnam on Thursday.
The 24-year-old left-arm spinner was found to have violated Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon their dismissal during an International Match.
The incident took place in the 17th over of India’s innings when Mlaba dismissed batter Harleen Deol. After claiming the wicket, Mlaba was seen waving goodbye to Deol as the Indian batter walked off the field — an act the ICC deemed unsporting.
