On-field umpires Richard Illingworth and Alex Wharf reported the matter. Third umpire Allahuddien Paleker and fourth umpire Adrian Holdstock also supported the charge. The offence fell under a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct. Such violations carry penalties ranging from an official warning to a fine of up to 50 percent of match fees. Officials may also add 1 or 2 demerit points.

Arshdeep accepted the punishment suggested by match referee Andy Pycroft from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel. Officials therefore did not conduct a formal disciplinary hearing.
