It is Ali's first offence in the past two years. One demerit point has also been added to Moeen Ali's disciplinary record for breaching Level 1 ICC Code of Conduct.

Why Ali has been fined by ICC?

During the 89th over of Australia's first innings on Day 2, Moeen was seen applying a drying agent to his bowling hand near the boundary rope while fielding, suggested the official ICC website.

Moeen has accepted the sanction and he also admitted the offence to the match referee of the Ashes 2023 1st Test.
