Reprimanded for waving goodbye? SA bowler penalised for bizarre reason during Women's WC match against India

South African spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has been reprimanded for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the Women's World Cup 2025 clash against India on Thursday, October 9, in Visakhapatnam. Her mistake? Mlaba waved goodbye to Harleen Deol with a hand gesture after dismissing her, while being ecstatic after taking the first two Indian wickets, and just for that harmless celebration, the 25-year-old has been handed a demerit point in her account, a first in 24 months.
