Dwayne
Bravo, the West Indies captain, has been suspended for one match after being
fined a second time within 12 months for maintaining a slow over-rate. He will
miss the crucial tri-series match against Sri Lanka on Sunday.
West
Indies were ruled one over short of the target at the end of match against
India in Port-of-Spain for which the match referee, Jeff Crowe, fined Bravo 20%
of his match fee and his team members, 10% of their match fees.
"The
captains were informed of their respective positions relating to over-rate
breaches before the start of the series," Crowe said. "On Friday, the
umpires had kept Dwayne [Bravo] informed throughout the innings about the
position regarding over-rates, and more so when his side fell behind."
The
charge was laid by on-field umpires Nigel Long and Peter Nero, as well as third
umpire Nigel Duguid and fourth umpire Joel Wilson, with Bravo pleading guilty.
It
was the second such offence for Bravo after he was fined for a slow over-rate
during the Champions Trophy match against South Africa on June 14.
Virat
Kohli was also slapped with a similar fine after India's match against Sri
Lanka in Kingston.
