The International Cricket Council (ICC) has fined Darren Bravo and
Rohit Sharma 15 percent of their respective match fees after the pair
was found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct on the final day's
play in the fourth Test between India and West Indies in St Lucia on
Saturday (August 13).
According to an official release, the
players were found to be in violation of Level 1 Article 2.1.1 of the
ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which
relates to "conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game."
Despite
multiple warnings from the on-field umpires Nigel Llong and Rod Tucker,
the feisty duo was seen constantly exchanging words in heated arguments
during the course of the day's play. Llong and Tucker,
along with third
umpire Gregory Brathwaite and fourth umpire Nigel Duguid, laid the
charges against them.
After the game, which India won by 237
runs to seal the four-match series, Rohit and Bravo accepted the
sanctions proposed by match referee Ranjan Madugalle.
The action now shifts to Port-of-Spain for the fourth and final Test between India and West Indies, starting on August 18.
