Brathwaite Fined by International Cricket Council During World Cup Match

LONDON: West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for "showing dissent" during their ICC World Cup match against India, in Manchester, on Thursday.

He was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC code of conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to "showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match".

In addition to this, one demerit point was added to the disciplinary record of Brathwaite, who now has two demerit points since the introduction of the revised code in September 2016.

The incident occurred in the 42nd over of India's innings, when Brathwaite protested the umpire's decision to declare a wide off his bowling. Brathwaite admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Chris Broad of the ICC elite panel of ICC match referees, and as such, there was no need for a formal hearing. IANS
