Law was found guilty of breaching Level 2 Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct. This relates to "public criticism" or "inappropriate comment" of player, player support personnel, match official or team participating in any international match. Law earlier received a 25 per cent fine and one demerit point during the final day's play in the Dominica Test against Pakistan in 2017.

Four demerit points convert into two suspension points. On Monday, Law admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad, ruling out the need for a formal hearing. The charges were levelled by on-field umpires Bruce Oxenford and Ian Gould, third umpire Nigel Llong and fourth official Nitin Menon. Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player or player support personnel.
