Nottingham: Sreesanth has been fined half his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to “inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play” during the second Test at Trent Bridge. The Indian opening bowler was charged after he shouldered England captain Michael Vaughan during the first session of play on the fourth day. Sreesanth pleaded guilty to the Level 2 offence in a hearing after play concluded here on Monday. “Cricket is a non-contact sport,” said Match Referee Ranjan Madugalle, “and any deviation from that fact is completely unacceptable. “I have no problem with players being combative on the field but there is a line they cannot cross and Sreesanth crossed that line when he barged past Michael Vaughan, a collision he had every opportunity to avoid. “I am pleased that Sreesanth accepted he was in the wrong by pleading guilty and that he apologised for his actions and I hope he learns from his mistake here.”
