ICC warns of serious actions on players behaviour
He said that if players fail to follow the ICC’s Code of Conduct then they face harsher penalties than ever.
“That issue has been addressed at all the pre-event team briefings,” Richardson was quoted as saying cricket.com.au.
“I suppose it started a few months back; the behaviour in some matches by some players was deemed to be unacceptable, and not a good example to young fans watching the game," he said.
“I think there has been something like 12, 13 Code of Conduct charges laid in the last few months in bilateral series," he said.
“So the crackdown had already started, the teams are going to be told that the umpires intend to remain firm, that the penalties handed out by the match referees will perhaps be a little bit more serious, or higher than before, but that hopefully everyone will be treated equally and fairly," he said.
The World Cup will commence from Feb 14.
