Kagiso Rabada suspended for second Test against England
South Africa will be without Kagiso Rabada for the second Test against England at Trent Bridge next week after the fast bowler notched up a fourth demerit point on the ICC's code of conduct.
Rabada already had three demerit points for his part in a spat with Sri Lanka's Niroshan Dickwella during a one-day international earlier this year, and picked up a fourth point for "using inappropriate language" after his dismissal of Ben Stokes on the opening day of the first Test at Lord's.
According to the ICC, Rabada was found guilty of breaching article 2.1.7 of the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an International Match."
"As Rabada had received a 50 per cent fine and three demerit points in the fourth One-Day International against Sri Lanka in Cape Town on 8 February 2017, with the addition of this one demerit point, he has reached the threshold of four demerit points, which, pursuant to article 7.6 of the Code, have now been converted into two suspension points," the ICC said in a statement.
Rabada is the second cricketer, after Niroshan Dickwella, to be suspended since the introduction of the demerits points system, which has been in effect from 22 September, 2016.
The demerit points remain on a player's disciplinary record for a period of 24 months. An accumulation of 4 to 7 demerit points correspond to 2 suspension points, 8 to 11 demerit points equate to 4 suspension points and 12 and above will leave a player with 6 suspension points. In the case of Rabada, who has 2 suspension points, it results in a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.
The four demerit points will remain on Rabada's record and if he reaches the next threshold of 8 to 11, it would result in 4 suspension points, which equate to a ban from one Test and two ODIs or two T20Is, two Tests or four ODIs or four T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.
The ICC's statement said that Rabada's use of inappropriate language was "audible over the stump microphones and also resulted in the batsman to turn before walking off the field."
The charges were levelled by on-field umpires Paul Reiffel and S.Ravi, third umpire Simon Fry and fourth umpire Rob Bailey. Rabada admitted his wrongdoing and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe, the match referee. As a result of that, there is no need for a formal hearing.

Mushfiqur Rahim opts to join Rajshahi Kings
Bangladesh Test skipper Mushfiqur Rahim said on Tuesday(August 2), joined Rajshahi Kings as their A-plus category player for the upcoming edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. Mushfiqur told the media at his unveiling that he arrives with the ambition of lifting the trophy next season.
"I want to win the tournament for them,' Mushfiq told reporters at introduction program of the franchise.I could not win it so far so I am looking forward to achieve it this time,' he said. "I will try to fulfill the expectations of the franchises," he said.
Mushfiqur said he was happy to play for his home side in BPL as he represents the Rajshahi Division while playing in the National Cricket League, the first-class tournament played between country's eight divisions. Mushfiqur hails from Bogra, a district under Rajshahi Division.
"Everyone wants to play for his home side so it is a privilege to play for them," Mushfiqur said. "It's a team game and I am sure we will be able to achieve our goal through a unified effort."
Mushfiqur is currently the highest scorer in the BPL with 1172 runs from 42 matches. Last season he played for Barisal Bulls but had a bitter experience with them in the end as the franchise owner accused him for being unprofessional. The drama had twist and turn as the Bangladesh Cricket Board issued showcause notice to the owner, Abdul Awal Chowdhurty, who is also a board director, and later upon his apology to the Test skipper, withdrew all the allegations against him.
