The ruling adhered to Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which fines players 5% of their match fee per over not bowled within the stipulated time, and Article 16.11.2 of the WTC playing conditions, which penalizes one point per over short. Both captains, Ben Stokes and Tom Latham, accepted the charges without contesting, demonstrating accountability and commitment to the game\u2019s regulations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8763\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8763\" src=\"https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-300x57.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-1024x196.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-768x147.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-1536x294.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/elitenewsnepal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elite-Futsal-Logo-2048x392.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advertisement: Elite futsal.
