Jason Roy fined for dissent following World Cup dismissal

Roy has also had two demerit points added to his disciplinary record following the incident

Jason Roy has been fined 30 per cent of his match fee and handed two demerit points following his reaction to his dismissal during England's World Cup semi-final victory over Australia at Edgbaston.

The punishment comes after Roy remonstrated angrily after being given out by umpire Kumar Dharmasena in the 20th over of England's run chase.

He was well set on 85, before being adjudged to have gloved a delivery from Pat Cummins through to Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Roy responded by signaling for a review, despite Jonny Bairstow having used - and lost - England's sole challenge moments earlier when he attempted to overturn an lbw decision. After his attempt to review the decision, Marais Erasmus, the square leg umpire, stepped in to direct Roy off the pitch, where he remained unhappily stood.

Roy was found to have breached Article 2.8 ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing dissent at an umpire's decision.

As well as the fine, Roy was given two demerit points. The Surrey batsman accepted both sanctions, which mean that he will be available for England in Sunday's final at Lord's against New Zealand.

The sanction handed down by match referee Ranjan Madugalle marked the second time in this tournament that Roy has been punished for his on-field conduct. In England's defeat against Pakistan at Trent Bridge during the group stage, Roy and Jofra Archer were both fined 15 percent of their fees. Roy's punishment came as a result of an "audible obscenity" that followed an early misfield.

Demerit points remain on a player’s record for two years after being imposed. A total of four such points within the 24-month period results in the points being converted into suspension points, which leads to a ban.
