DHAKA, Nov 23, 2018 (BSS)- 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 today.
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 Chittagong 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.
