ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – The West Indies Cricket Board confirmed today that five players and a team official have been penalised under the Code of Conduct, following the third round of matches in the Professional Cricket League Regional 4-Day Tournament which ended on Monday.
The five players are Jonathan Carter of Barbados Pride, Steven Katwaroo and Imran Khan of Trinidad & Tobago Red Force, and Steve Liburd and Sherwin Peters of Leeward Islands Hurricanes, and the team official is Wendell Coppin, also of Barbados Pride.
Carter was reported by umpires Nandkumar Shivsankar, Christopher Taylor and Guyanand Sukhdeo for a Level 1 breach of the Code of Conduct relating to the abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during the match between the Pride and Guyana Jaguars at the Guyana National Stadium.
The left-handed batting all-rounder was fined 15 per cent of his match fee, after he angrily slammed his bat into a water cooler and the dressing room door in the full public view, when he left the field following his dismissal in the Pride second innings.
The player admitted to the offence and accepted the imposition of the proposed sanction. No further action was taken and no hearing was required.
