Cricket Australia, after a hearing on Saturday night, found Mitchell Marsh guilty of a Level 2 breach of CA's Code of Conduct, which can lead to a suspension and/or a maximum penalty of $10,000. However, since the all-rounder has had no Code of Conduct breaches in the past two years, he was instead fined $5,000.
“I accept the fine handed down to me, my reaction to the umpire’s decision was unacceptable and not the example I want to be setting for any young cricketer,” Marsh said, accepting the decision.
