Seales, Sinclair fined for breaching ICC Code of Conduct in second Test

West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales and his teammate Kevin Sinclair have been found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct in the second Test match against Bangladesh.

Seales was fined 25% of his match fees, while Sinclair was fined 15%.

Bangladesh defeated the West Indies by 101 runs on the fourth day of the second and final Test at Sabina Park to level the two-match series 1-1.

After picking up a wicket, Seales was fined for aggressive gestures towards the Bangladesh dressing room.

In addition, one demerit point was added to his disciplinary record. This was his first offense in 24 months.

Seale’s fine relates to the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel breach, which relates to “conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.”

Sinclair, who was on the field as a substitute, was fined 15% after he ignored warnings from the on-field umpires and continued using aggressive language at the visiting players.

Sinclair’s actions breached the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “disobeying an umpire’s instruction during an international match.”

Seales and Sinclair admitted their respective offenses and accepted the sanctions proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
