Dubai: West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee and one demerit point for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the opening day of the first match of the series against Australia in Bridgetown on Wednesday, ICC said.
“Seales was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ‘using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an international match.
“In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Seales, for whom it was the second offence in a 24-month period, taking his tally of demerit points in a 24-month period to two,” ICC said in a statement.
The incident occurred in the 55th over of Australia’s innings, when Seales, after dismissing captain Pat Cummins, gestured in the direction of the pavilion. IANS
