West Indies Players Powell and Rutherford Reprimanded by ICC
Listen to the story
Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford play cricket for West Indies. They broke a rule from the ICC. The ICC is the group that runs world cricket.
The rule is called the code of conduct. It tells players how to behave during a match. Players must not break this rule.
West Indies lost the third T20I match against India. A T20I is a short cricket match between two countries.
After the match, the ICC gave both players a reprimand. A reprimand is a warning. It is not a big punishment.
The ICC did not share many details about what happened. But both players accepted the punishment.
This kind of warning can happen when players show bad behaviour on the field. It is common in cricket.
