West Indies pacer Jayden Seales punished for fiery send-off to Pat Cummins as tempers flare in Barbados Test
Seales' disciplinary record has also been updated with one demerit point. This was the pacer's second offence in a 24-month period, so the 23-year-old now has two demerits in his kitty.
The speedster was earlier handed one demerit point during a Test match against Bangladesh in Kingston, Jamaica, on December 3, 2024.
Seales was found guilty of breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. This particular Article is related 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.'
Because Seales admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Javagal Srinath, there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, third umpire Adrian Holdstock, and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite levelled the charge.
It must be mentioned that Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points. What happened between Seales and Cummins?
Jayden Seales dismissed Pat Cummins in the 55th over of Australia's first innings, and after taking his wicket, the West Indies pacer gestured in the direction of the pavilion.
Speaking of the first Test between Australia and the West Indies, the former reached the score of 92/4 at Stumps on Day 2, leading the hosts by 82 runs.
The Barbados Test has been marred by poor umpiring, and TV umpire Adrian Holdstock is at the centre of a storm after giving some controversial verdicts.
West Indies coach Daren Sammy even met match referee Srinath about the same. Speaking to reporters, the T20 World Cup-winning captain said he wants to have 'consistency' when it comes to DRS calls.

WI vs AUS, 2nd Test: Carey, Webster salvage first day for Australia as top-order woes continue
Alex Carey and Beau Webster rescued Australia from a worse fate than 286 against the West Indies on day one of their second Test on Thursday. A four-pace attack cut Australia down to 110 for five soon after Lunch, but Carey immediately lashed back. He and Webster combined for 112 runs in 25 overs for the sixth wicket. They both scored half-centuries. After Australia was all out in the 67th over, the players went out to start the West Indies innings, but Stumps was called for bad light. Australia, up 1-0 in the three-Test series, chose to bat first — pleasing the West Indies — then lost three men in three consecutive overs. Usman Khawaja was first, lbw trying to block an Alzarri Joseph in-swinger on 16. Fellow opener Sam Konstas went next on 25, driving at Anderson Phillip and nicking behind. Phillip replaced frontline spinner Jomel Warrican for his first Test in three years. AS IT HAPPENED: WI vs AUS, 2nd Test Day 1 highlights Steve Smith came in after missing the three-day win in Barbados due to an injured finger that passed his pain Test in a baseball batting cage in New York. But Australia's class batter was out for 3, top-edging Alzarri Joseph to fine leg. In the last over before lunch, Cameron Green was dropped by John Campbell off Jayden Seales, but Green's let-off was brief. To the last ball of the same over, Green edged a ball shaping away straight to gully and the hands of captain Roston Chase. Australia took Lunch at 93-4 and was 110-5 soon after when Shamar Joseph hit Travis Head on his bat handle and wicketkeeper Shai Hope got one glove underneath for the catch. Webster, on 5, was joined by Carey, who charged at Phillip, Seales and Justin Greaves for boundaries and swept Seales for another. Carey was dropped on 46 by a leaping Hope off Phillip and added insult to injury by edging Phillip between Hope and a wide slip for a boundary to bring up his 13th 50-plus Test score. Meanwhile, Webster was helping to subdue the chaos and helping Australia score 99 runs in the afternoon for the loss of only Head. Carey didn't last long after Tea, out for 63 to a catch by Kraigg Brathwaite on the occasion of his 100th Test, off medium-pacer Greaves. Webster brought up his 50 off 87 balls, his fourth 50 in his sixth Test and third in three Tests. But captain Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc couldn't stay with him. Following a 35-minute delay for a heavy shower, Webster ran himself out attempting a second run and couldn't beat Keacy Carty's accurate throw from deep point. Webster's 60 came from 115 balls, six boundaries and a six. Nathan Lyon was the last man out, giving Alzarri Joseph four for 61 from 15.5 overs.

Steve Smith Back As Australia Announce Playing XI For 2nd Test Vs West Indies
Last Updated: Steve Smith has recovered from a finger injury he sustained during the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Steve Smith has recovered from a serious dislocated finger and will return for Australia's second Test against the West Indies this week, replacing Josh Inglis, according to skipper Pat Cummins. Smith injured his finger while fielding in the slips during the World Test Championship final at Lord's three weeks ago and was taken to hospital. This injury sidelined him for the first Test in Barbados, which Australia won by 159 runs, and his absence was felt as the side's top order struggled. 'He's ready to go, the finger held up well," Cummins said on Wednesday at St George's in Grenada, with the 36-year-old set to bat with a splint. Smith will return to the number four spot after Inglis failed to capitalize on his opportunity, scoring just five and 12. While Inglis misses out, the selectors have retained teenager Sam Konstas as Usman Khawaja's opening partner and the under-performing Cameron Green at three, resisting the urge to recall the axed Marnus Labuschagne, who remains with the squad. The rest of the team remains unchanged, with the formidable combination of Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood leading the attack once again. 'He was really happy, particularly batting," Cummins added about Smith, who is unlikely to field in his usual slip position. 'Fielding we still potentially need to manage a little bit. So he might not be in the slips too often – maybe for spin he'll be okay, but for the quicks he might need to wait another week." Cummins said it was an unknown and having vice-captain Smith back to help him problem-solve was a bonus. 'That's one of his great strengths," he said of the 117-Test veteran. 'He's scored runs all over the world and that means that while he's not played a game here, he seems to work out pretty quickly what needs to be done and where your scoring areas are. 'Having that knowledge is going to be helpful, particularly for the guys who haven't played too many Tests or first-class games on similar wickets."
