VIRAT VS KONSTAS CONTROVERSY: Virat Kohli could be in trouble after shoulder barging Sam Konstas on the opening day of the Melbourne Test between India and Australia. Depending on how the match referee Andy Pycroft interprets the incident, it’s possible that the guilty party could face sanctions including a one-Test ban should it be deemed a Level Two offence.

As per the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, the incident falls under Law 2.12 which deals with “Inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match.”

As per the law, “Any form of inappropriate physical contact is prohibited in cricket. Without limitation, Players will breach this regulation if they deliberately, recklessly and/or negligently walk or run into or shoulder another Player or Umpire. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the following factors (without limitation) shall be taken into account: (i) the context of the particular situation, including, without limitation, whether the contact was deliberate (i.e. intentional), reckless, negligent, and/or avoidable; (ii) the force of the contact; (iii) any resulting injury to the person with whom contact was made; and (iv) the person with whom contact was made.”

If it’s considered a Level 2 offence, the player guilty of initiating the contact will get three or four demerit points. Should either of the two players be slapped with four demerit points, it could result in suspension for the next Test slated to be held in Sydney.
