Port of Spain: West Indies Skipper Dwayne Bravo has been suspended for one match after being fined a second time within 12 months for maintaining a slow over-rate.
Bravo will now miss the crucial tri-series match against Sri Lanka on Sunday.
West Indies were ruled one over short of the target at the end of match against India in Port-of-Spain for which the match referee, Jeff Crowe, fined Bravo 20 per cent of his match fee and his team members, 10 per cent of their match fee.
“The captains were informed of their respective positions relating to over-rate breaches before the start of the series,” ESPN Cricinfo quoted Crowe as saying. “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.”
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. Bravo pleaded guilty of the charges.
Virat Kohli was also slapped with a similar fine after India’s match against Sri Lanka in Kingston.
