West Indies head coach Daren Sammy fined for ICC Code of Conduct breach during first Test against Australia
New Delhi [India] June 29 (ANI): West Indies head coach Daren Sammy has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second day of the first Test that the visitors clinched by 159 runs, courtesy Josh Hazlewood's stunning 5-43 in Bridgetown, according to the ICC website. The sanction relates to comments made by Sammy during a media interaction at the end of Day 2, where he criticised one of the match officials in reference to multiple incidents throughout the day's play. The 41-year-old was found to have violated Article 2.7 of the Code, which pertains to 'public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an International Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match Official or team participating in any International Match.' As a result, one demerit point has also been added to Sammy's disciplinary record, his first offence in a 24-month period. Sammy admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Javagal Srinath of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, after the charge was levelled by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, third umpire Adrian Holdstock, and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite. Level 1 offences carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum of a 50% match fee fine, along with one or two demerit points. The visiting Australian side thumped West Indies by 159 runs after the home side lost all ten wickets in the final session on Day three, while chasing the 301-run target in a game that was filled with twists and turns. The second Test begins on Thursday, 3rd July at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's. (ANI)

West Indies Pacer Given Hefty Fine, 1 Demerit Point For Breaching ICC Code Of Conduct
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. ICC said that Seales admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Javagal Srinath of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite levelled the charge. Seales received his earlier demerit point during a Test match against Bangladesh in Kingston, Jamaica, on 3 December 2024. 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. Seales played down the incident when asked for more information at stumps on the first day. "It did not really mean anything and it was more a bit of frustration. Pat hit a couple of good shots off me and I just showed him where the dressing room was and there wasn't really anything in it," he said. Seales was among the wicket takers late on the second day as he bowled Josh Inglis for 12 for his sixth scalp of the match, with Travis Head (13) and Beau Webster (19) to resume on Friday.c
