Windies all-rounder Kieron Pollard, who had not obeyed the umpire, has received a demerit point with 20 per cent fine as a match fee. According to the ICC release, Pollard has violated Level One of the ICC Code of Conduct during the penultimate T20I against India at Florida on August 4.

The senior campaigner had played a good run-a-ball 49-run knock in the first T20. But he had managed eight unbeaten in the second T20I when rain halted the play.

In the meantime, Pollard had failed to obey umpire’s instructions which had eventually irked the umpires.

However, Pollard had not accepted the offence. And, thus he had to present himself before match referee Jeff Crowe for the formal hearing. Therefore, Crowe, who is the part of Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, has found the Caribbean guilty of breaching the norms.

Subsequently, it did not eventually end up Pollard being fined, but he had been a demerit point which could exceed in the 24 months.

Earlier, On-field umpires Gregory Braithwaite and Nigel Duguid, third umpire Leslie Reifer and fourth official Patrick Gustard had levelled the charges against Pollard.
