2nd Test: Seales Fined 25 Pc Match Fee, Handed Demerit Point For Throwing Ball At Jaiswal
Emirates ICC Elite Panel: West Indies’ fast bowler Jayden Seales has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee and handed one demerit point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during day one of the ongoing second Test against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The incident occurred in the 29th over of India’s first innings, where they declared at 518/5, when Seales fielded the ball on his follow-through and threw it at left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, thus hitting him on the pads and also immediately apologised for this.
“Seales was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment) at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.”
