England captain Eoin Morgan has been suspended for the next one-day international and fined 40% of his match fee for a slow over-rate during the six-wicket win against Pakistan on Tuesday, reported BBC.
It is Morgan’s second such offence within 12 months after England were guilty of a slow-over rate against the West Indies in February.
Morgan will miss Friday’s fourth ODI against Pakistan at Trent Bridge.
England lead the five-match series 2-0.
“England were ruled to be two overs short after time allowances were taken into consideration,” the International Cricket Council said in a statement.
Also disciplined by the ICC was Jonny Bairstow, who was reprimanded for hitting the stumps with his bat when he was dismissed in the 29th over.
The wicketkeeper-batsman struck a sensational century as England easily chased 359 to win at Bristol’s County Ground.
The rest of the England players have also been fined 20% of their match fees for the slow over-rate.
