England pair Jason Roy and Jofra Archer fined after Pakistan defeat

Both players admitted the offences, which both related to dissent, and accepted the sanctions handed down

Jofra Archer and Jason Roy have each been fined 15 percent of their match fees after breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during England's 14-run defeat against Pakistan on Monday.

The pair were found to have committed Level One offences. Roy was found to have used an “audible obscenity” after a misfield in the 14th over, which was heard by umpires Marais Erasmus and S Ravi.

Archer, meanwhile, was found to have shown dissent at an umpire’s decision. The incident in question related to the seamer’s reaction to a wide delivery in the 27th over.

Both players admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions handed down by match referee Jeff Crowe. As well as the deduction from their match fees, the duo have had one demerit point added to each of their respective disciplinary records.

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.

A sum of two suspension points equates to a ban of one Test, two ODIs or two T20 internationals.

The sanctions top off poor days for both Roy and Archer; Roy dropped Mohammed Hafeez early on in the Pakistan batsman's innings - he would go on to make 84. England's opening batsman would then be given out leg-before for eight off the bowling off Shadab Khan.

Likewise, Archer suffered, perhaps, his first negative experience of international cricket; his 10 overs cost his side 79 runs, while hs was another guilty of misfielding in a ragged effort from England with the ball.
