ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) — The Guyana Harpy Eagles trio of Kevlon Anderson, Veerasammy Permaul and Ronaldo Alimohamed have been found guilty of breaching the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Code of Conduct in the ongoing West Indies Championship.

The offences occurred in their seventh and final-round match against Trinidad & Tobago Red Force at Queen’s Park Oval.

Anderson was fined 90 per cent of his match fee, Permaul was fined 75 per cent, while Alimohamed was fined 65 per cent of his match fee for level two breaches of CWI’s Code of Conduct.

Both Anderson and Permaul breached Article 2.1–2.5, Paragraph 3.8 of the CWI Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3. of the Laws of Cricket”.

Anderson’s offence took place on the third day while Permaul’s was on the opening day.

Both players admitted to the offences laid by on-field umpires Christopher Taylor and Kashif Sandy, and accepted the sanction proposed by match Referee Michael Ragoonath. As such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

Meanwhile, Alimohamed breached Article 2.1–2.5; Paragraph 3.6 of the code of Conduct – “Throw the ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a player or official in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner.”

Alimohamed initially denied the charge, which carried a fine of 60 per cent, but following a hearing with match referee Ragoonath at the end of the opening day, was found guilty and subsequently received the 65 per cent fine.

All level two breaches carry a minimum penalty of a fine of between 50 to 100 per cent of the applicable match fee and/or a ban of one match and/or two One-Day International matches.
