KINGSTON, Ja­maica – West In­dies fast bowler Jay­den Seales and his team­mate Kevin Sin­clair have been found guilty of breach­ing the ICC Code of Con­duct in the sec­ond Test match against Bangladesh and fined 25 per cent and 15 per cent of their match fees, re­spec­tive­ly.

Bangladesh de­feat­ed the West In­dies by 101 runs on the fourth day of the sec­ond and fi­nal Test at Sabi­na Park on Tues­day to lev­el the two-match se­ries 1-1.

Seales was fined 25 per cent of his match fees for mak­ing ag­gres­sive ges­tures to­wards the Bangladesh dress­ing room af­ter pick­ing up a wick­et.

In ad­di­tion to this, he al­so had one de­mer­it point added to his dis­ci­pli­nary record. This was his first of­fence in a 24-month pe­ri­od.

Seale’s fine re­lates to the breach of the ICC Code of Con­duct for Play­ers and Play­er Sup­port Per­son­nel which re­lates to “con­duct that is con­trary to the spir­it of the game.”

Mean­while, Sin­clair, who was on the field as a sub­sti­tute, was hit with a 15 per cent fine af­ter he ig­nored warn­ings from the on-field um­pires and con­tin­ued us­ing ag­gres­sive lan­guage at the vis­it­ing play­ers.

Sin­clair’s ac­tions breached the ICC Code of Con­duct for Play­ers and Play­er Sup­port Per­son­nel which re­lates to “dis­obey­ing an um­pire’s in­struc­tion dur­ing an in­ter­na­tion­al match.”

Seales and Sin­clair ad­mit­ted their re­spec­tive of­fences and ac­cept­ed the sanc­tions pro­posed by Jeff Crowe of the Emi­rates ICC Elite Pan­el of Match Ref­er­ees and, as such, there was no need for a for­mal hear­ing.
