Gwalior: The altercation between Shahid Afridi and Gautam Gambhir during the third India-Pakistan cricket ODI in Kanpur earned hefty fines for both the players.
They were found guilty of breaching the ICC’s Code of Conduct.
Afridi, who apparently initiated the spat, was fined 95 per cent of his match fee, while Gambhir lost 65 per cent.
The punishments were handed down by ICC match referee, Roshan Mahanama, following hearings here on Wednesday.
According to an ICC release, the players were charged under two counts of the ICC Code of Conduct.
“…Conduct unbecoming to their status which could bring them or the game of cricket into disrepute,” and Level 2.4 which relates to “inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play.” — PTI
