India A team bowler Dhawal Kulkarni has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee after exclusive images taken by ‘cricket.com.au’ captured the bowler giving a send off to Australia ‘A’ opener, Kurtis Patterson.
The southpaw was dismissed by Kulkarni during the final of the recently concluded quadrangular tournament in Mackay, New South Wales while attempting a pull shot. Images showed Kulkarni in breach of article 2.7 of International Cricket Council’s code of Conduct dealing with action against unsavory language or gestures which could result in an aggressive reaction by the dismissed batsman.
The touring Indian team emerged champion by 57 runs, with Kulkarni playing a crucial role, picked two vital wickets. The hearing was instituted after the game where the Indian pacer pleaded guilty of the charge which meant no further action was required.
Kulkarni became the fifth player in the tournament to receive sanctions. Previously, India ‘A’ captain Manish Pandey, South Africa ‘A’ pair of Tabraiz Shamsi and Qaasim Adams and National Performance Squad batsman Matthew Renshaw, had all been found guilty of breaching the code of conduct.
Having won the four teams One Day tournament, the visiting India ‘A’ team is now scheduled to meet its Australia counterpart in two four-day games, with the first beginning at Allan Border Field, Brisbane, on Thursday.
