The ICC match referre Javagal Srinath handed over a 4 ODI ban to England captain Paul Collingwood for bowling slow against New Zealand. This was considered a level 3 offense as per ICC regulations and hence he faced either a 4 ODI or a 2 Test Match ban.
His offense was pushed to level 3 from level 2 as he committed the mistake within a year. AS per rules, he cannot repeat the mistake again within the year.
His team bowled more than two overs short in a game against India in August last year.
A short of more than two overs in an ODI brings with it an automatic Level 2 charge against the captain involved, but if that captain has already been charged and found guilty of the same offence within the preceding 12 months then the penalty imposed is elevated to Level 3.
Each player will be fined 5% of the match fee for every over short with the captain fined 10%.
Up t level 4 offense, the player can appeal and if he does it, until the verdict, the punishment will not be in effect.
If the ban stays, he will miss the final ODI against New Zealand, the T20 and the two ODIs against South Africa.
