Benn slapped with heavy fine

West Indies left-arm spinner, Sulieman Benn, has been slapped with a heavy fine for his on-the-field run-in with Captain, Chris Gayle.



Following a meeting of team management yesterday in Trinidad and Tobago, where the side is preparing for Thursday’s final One-Day International, it was decided to fine the lanky 28-year-old his entire match fee.



Benn had upset Gayle by failing to follow his instruction to bowl over the wicket, and was told to leave the field.



In a post-match media conference, Gayle said he had asked Benn to bowl over the wicket, but the bowler had refused.



Benn sent down four overs, which cost 22 runs before leaving the field.



Benn was subsequently announced in a 14-man squad for the fifth and final One-Day International.



The remaining members of the squad are:- Dwayne Bravo, Dale Richards, Travis Dowlin, Shiv Chanderpaul, Darren Bravo, Narsingh Deonarine, Darren Sammy, Kieron Pollard, David Bernard, Denesh Ramdin, Jerome Taylor and Ravi Rampaul.
