St Lucia Zouks’ Tino Best and Barbados tridents Shoaib Malik were both fined for their on-field altercation during Wednesday’s Limacol Caribbean Premier League match at the Kensington Oval.

Umpires Joel Wilson and Gregory Brathwaite laid the charges, citing the WICB Code of Conduct,  the governing code for the CPL.

They judged that Best breached Article 2.1.8 of the Code of Conduct which relates to “conduct that either (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute.”

 This is a level one offence and  Best was charged 10 per cent of his match fee.
