MUMBAI: Indian women's team skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is likely to face more action for her on-field outbursts during the final ODI match against Bangladesh. Although a fine of 75 percent of the match fee was slapped on Harmanpreet, sources are claiming that ICC is planning to ban her from two matches. According to reports, Harmanpreet Kaur will receive four demerit points for her poor on-field and off-field conduct in the match.

If the ICC decides to ban Harmanpreet for two matches, the Indian skipper will have to sit out for two matches in the upcoming Asian Games.
India had directly qualified for the quarter-finals of the Asian Games women's cricket. The top four ranked teams will directly qualify for the quarter-finals. With this, it appears that the Indian skipper might miss the quarter-finals and the semi-final of the Asia Cup.

After she was given out by on-field umpire Tanvir Ahmed on Saturday after being caught at slips, the Indian skipper expressed her displeasure with the decision by smashing her bat on the stumps and by making a gesture of protest to the umpire before leaving. Later after the match, she termed the umpiring standards in the series as "pathetic".

The match officials have recommended a total of three demerit points for damaging playing equipment and one for publicly criticizing match officials. The final decision is in the hands of ICC and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is talking to the world governing body of cricket on the matter.

As per ICC's rules, when a player gets four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they get converted into suspension points. Anything between four to seven demerit points is equal to two suspension points, that is, a ban from one Test, two ODIs, or two T20Is, whichever is the part of the player's immediate schedule.
