Six breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct have been reported in the opening 32 matches of the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh.

Four Indian players, one English player and one South African have all been found guilty by ICC Match Referees after reports were lodged by the match umpires.

Dinesh Karthik, Sunny Singh and Suresh Raina were all severely reprimanded and warned of their future conduct after being found guilty of breaching Level 2.6 of the Code by appealing in an aggressive manner in India's group match against Bangladesh on 20 February.

On the same day, England's Thomas New and South Africa's Roelof van der Merwe were given official reprimands after the team's encounter. The pair were both found guilty of showing dissent at an umpire's decision.

The final player to have breached the Code in the competition is India bowler Gaurav Dhiman. He was reported by the umpires for gesturing to the pavilion in an aggressive manner after dismissing a South Africa batsman in the match on 22 February. Dhiman pleaded guilty to a breach of Level 1.6 and was also officially reprimanded.

The standard ICC Code of Conduct is in operation during the ICC U/19 CWC although fines do not apply. If any of the above players commits a repeat offence they will face a ban.
