West Indies’ all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been fined 20 percent of his match fee for showing dissent over his dismissal in the first One Day International against Australia yesterday in St Vincent.
He was found guilty of breaching the International Cricket Council (ICC), Code of Conduct during his side’s loss to the Australians at Arnos Vale.
Bravo was given out Leg Before Wicket by umpire Asad Rauf off Australia’s left-arm spinner Michael Clarke.
The ICC said the player openly showed dissent at the decision by standing his ground before leaving the field while shaking his head.
Bravo pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Roshan Mahanama of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees handed down the penalty, following a hearing that took place after the match.
