Former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain have criticised the ICC for penalising Sam Curran over his reaction to dismissing South Africa captain Temba Bavuma.
Curran has been fined 15 percent of his match fee and handed a demerit point after the ICC found his celebration, after Bavuma was bowled for 109 in the second ODI between England and South Africa, to have been "excessive".
They claimed it was "an action which had the potential to provoke an aggressive reaction from Bavuma". However, both Atherton and Hussain believe the ICC "should be more relaxed" over what was "an instinctive reaction" to a big wicket in the context of the game.
