LONDON, (Reuters) – West Indies captain Darren Sammy has been fined 80 percent of his match fee for his team’s slow over rate during their five-wicket defeat by England in the first test at Lord’s, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday.
West Indies were ruled four overs short of their target, triggering a 40 percent fine for all the players in the team apart from the captain who must pay double under ICC rules. If Sammy is found guilty of another over-rate offence in the next year, he will receive a one-match suspension.
