block
BSS, Dhaka :
Shannon Gabriel, the Windies paceman, has been suspended for their second Test against Bangladesh after an accumulation of demerit points, said an ICC press release on Friday.
The Windies’ fast bowler Shannon Gabriel has been suspended for next week’s second Test in Dhaka after his accumulated demerit points reached five within a 24-month period following his latest breach of the ICC Code of Conduct which he received a 30 percent fine and two demerit points.
During the opening day’s play in the Chattogram Test against Bangladesh on Thursday, Gabriel was found guilty of breaching Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which related to “Inappropriate physical contact with a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an international match”.
As Gabriel had received a 50 percent fine and three demerit points during the Jamaica Test against Pakistan in April 2017, with the addition of these two demerit points, he has reached the threshold of four demerit points, which pursuant to article 7.6 of the Code, have now been converted into two suspension points.
