Seales, Sinclair fined for breaching ICC code of conduct

Seales was fined 25 percent of his match fee "for making aggressive gestures" towards the Bangladesh team after taking a wicket

West Indies cricketers Jayden Seales and Kevin Sinclair were both fined on December 4 (Wednesday) for breaching the International Cricket Council's code of conduct during the second Test defeat by Bangladesh.

Fast bowler Seales was fined 25 percent of his match fee "for making aggressive gestures" towards the Bangladesh team after taking a wicket. He also received one demerit point for the offence.

All-rounder Sinclair, who was not in the original XI but came on as a substitute fielder, was docked 15 percent of his match fee for sledging.

The ICC said he "ignored warnings" from the umpires and "continued using aggressive language" towards the Bangladesh players.

Seales recorded outstanding figures of 4-5 in 15.5 overs in Bangladesh's first innings in Jamaica, but the tourists won the match by 101 runs to level the two-match series.
