Jay­den Seales re­ceived one de­mer­it point and was al­so rep­ri­mand­ed fol­low­ing a Lev­el 1 breach of the ICC Code of Con­duct dur­ing the first Test against Pak­istan in Kingston, Ja­maica dur­ing the first day's play, the crick­et web­site Cricbuzz has re­port­ed.

The 19-year-old pac­er was found to have breached Ar­ti­cle 2.5 of the Code of Con­duct - Us­ing lan­guage, ac­tions or ges­tures which dis­par­age, or which could pro­voke an ag­gres­sive re­ac­tion from a bat­ter up­on his/her dis­missal dur­ing an In­ter­na­tion­al Match.

The in­ci­dent hap­pened dur­ing the 70th over of Pak­istan's first in­nings when Seales used in­ap­pro­pri­ate lan­guage to­wards Hasan Ali fol­low­ing Pak­istan No. 9's bats­man dis­missal, stat­ed the ICC.

Um­pires Gre­go­ry Brath­waite, Joel Wil­son, Nigel Duguid and TV um­pire Leslie Reifer lev­elled the charge, with the sanc­tion be­ing im­posed by match ref­er­ee Richie Richard­son. Seales plead­ed guilty to the of­fence and ac­cept­ed the pro­posed charge.

The de­mer­it point re­mains on the play­er's dis­ci­pli­nary record for a pe­ri­od of 24 months. Should the play­er ac­cu­mu­late four or more de­mer­it points, they are con­vert­ed to sus­pen­sion points. Two Sus­pen­sion Points re­sult in a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whichev­er comes first for the play­er.
