In July 2023, Kaur was fined 75% of her match fee, received four demerit points, and was suspended for two matches by the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) for breaching the [[ICC Cricket Code of Conduct|code of conduct]] for her outbursts during the [[India women's cricket team in Bangladesh in 2023|final ODI of the Bangladesh series]]. She pleaded guilty to two separate charges pressed by Akhtar Ahmed, the match referee.<ref>{{cite news |title=India women’s cricket captain handed two-match ban for outburst |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/25/indian-captain-harmanpreet-kaur-handed-two-match-ban-for-outburst |work=Al Jazeera |date=25 July 2023 |language=en}}</ref> Kaur received three demerit points and fined 50% of her match fee relating to "showing dissent at an [[Umpire (cricket)|umpire]]'s decision".
