What sanctions can I impose at each level, and how many demerit points do they carry?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choose a sanction within the range for the level, taking into account any aggravating or mitigating factors. The sanction then sets the demerit points: Level Permitted sanction Sanction given Demerit points 1 Warning and/or fine up to 50% of match fee Warning or 0-25% fine 1 26-50% fine 2 2 Fine of 50-100% of match fee, or up to 2 suspension points 50-100% fine or 1 suspension point 3 2 suspension points 4 3 4 to 12 suspension points 4-7 suspension points 5 8-12 suspension points 6 4 12 suspension points, or a fixed suspension from the lesser of 12 suspension points and one year, up to life 12 suspension points 7 Fixed-period suspension 8 At Level 3, the actual suspension can't be longer than one year, however the suspension points work out. A suspension other than a fixed period is expressed in suspension points: 2 per Test, 1 per ODI or T20I. Over-rate offences have their own sanction (5% of match fee per over short, capped at 50%) and carry no demerit points.
