The International Cricket Council has banned Sourav Ganguli from playing in four one-day matches
-
- due to the slow over rate of India in one-day matches when he was captain of the Indian team
- for protesting against umpire’s decision when he was given ‘out’
- for quarrelling with the captain of the Pakistani team
- for walking away from the ground with his team against umpire’s decision
Correct Option: A
In July 2005, India skipper Saurav Ganguly had his international ban for slow over rates cut from six matches to four. Independent arbitrator, Justice Albie Sachs, upheld the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Code of Conduct and the process used to charge him but decided that the original six-match ban was too severe. Ganguly was penalised by match referee Chris Broad during a one-day series against Pakistan at home in April, a decision upheld by the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) appeals Commissioner Michael Beloff.
