Bumrah opens up on Test captaincy ambitions ahead of Perth Test
There was a sense of self-motivation when Jasprit Bumrah came to address the pre-match presser ahead of the opening Test against Australia in Perth starting Friday.
The International Cricket Council ruled Jasprit Bumarh, an Indian fast bowler, guilty of making inappropriate physical contact with English cricketer Ollie Pope during the first test.
In the 81st over of England’s second innings, Bumrah intentionally interfered with Ollie Pope, resulting in unlawful physical contact on Sunday.
“The pacer was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “inappropriate physical contact with a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee, or any other person (including a spectator) during an international match,” said the ICC.

Since it was Bumrah’s first offence in 24 months, one demerit point has been added to his record.
Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed this penalty on him (reported by the ICC).
