West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo has been suspended for one match after his side was fined for a second minor over-rate offence within 12 months during Friday\u2019s match against India at Port-of-Spain.<\/p>\nWest Indies captain Dwayne Bravo has been suspended for one match after his side was fined for a second minor over-rate offence within 12 months during Friday\u2019s match against India at Port-of-Spain.<\/p>\n
The West Indies side was ruled to be one over short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration. As such, Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed a 20-per-cent fine on Bravo, while each of his players received 10-per-cent fines.<\/p>\n
As this was West Indies\u2019 second minor over-rate offence within 12 months, after it was fined for a slow over-rate in Cardiff against South Africa on 14 June during the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, Bravo has also been suspended from West Indies\u2019 next game on Sunday, 7 July, against Sri Lanka at Port-of-Spain.\n<\/p>\n
The offence is contrary to Article 2.5.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to over-rate offences.<\/p>\n
Commenting on his decision, Mr Crowe said: \u201cThe captains were informed of their respective positions relating to over-rate breaches before the start of the series. On Friday, the umpires had kept Dwayne informed throughout the innings about the position regarding over-rates, and more so when his side fell behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
The charge was laid by on-field umpires Nigel Llong and Peter Nero, as well as third umpire Nigel Duguid and fourth umpire Joel Wilson.<\/p>\n
Bravo pleaded guilty to the charge. The subsequent penalties were accepted by both Bravo and the West Indies, so as such there was no need for a formal hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
