Coetzee was noted to have made an inappropriate comment to the umpire in India’s 15th innings after one of his deliveries was deemed wide. He admitted the crime and accepted the sanction, which also included an official reprimand. India had won the series 3-1.
Edwards was found guilty of two offences: Articles 2.8 and 2.2, which relate to “the abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match”.
After being hit lbw, he showed his bat to the umpire. Then, as he returned to the dugout, he threw his bat and gloves onto the field, earning two demerit points in total. He was also fined 10% of the match fee.
Mehmood was also fined 10% of his match fee and given a demerit point for dismissing Dutch batsman Teja Nidamanuru. Since both players admitted their faults and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee Neeyamur Rashid, there was no need for a formal hearing.
Netherlands won the series 2-1.
