ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago Red Force pacer Shannon Gabriel will part with 70 per cent of his match fee after being found guilty of dissent during the second round game in the Regional First Class Championship against Barbados Pride last weekend.
The 27-year-old shouted an obscenity after an appeal for lbw was turned down by the umpire during the Pride first innings. This was considered a show of dissent at the umpire’s decision.
He was initially reported for a Level 1 breach of the Code of Conduct but this was upgraded to Level 2 because the player had committed the same offence within the last year.
Meanwhile, Pride left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican was also fined but only ten per cent of his match fee after also being charged with showing dissent.
After being given out in the first innings, he remained at the crease and opened his arms, appearing to question the umpire’s decision.
He accepted the sanction.
Both Gabriel and Warrican leave the Caribbean on Monday with the West Indies squad for the Test tour of Australia which bowls off next month.
