West Indies are docked two ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points for a slow over-rate during the second Test against Sri Lanka. ESPN Cricinfo reports that the team was two overs short, and that this over-rate breach results in a two-point penalty. Both ESPN Cricinfo and NDTV also state that West Indies face a monetary fine linked to the over-rate issue. The fine is reported as 10% of the match fee, applied to each player. The incident occurs during the Test match, and the sanction is imposed under the ICC’s over-rate rules for maintaining the required number of overs within the allotted time. With the penalty, the West Indies lose two “crucial” WTC points, which can affect their standings in the championship. The reported sanctions include both the point deduction and the match-fee forfeiture, with the match-fee fine calculated as a percentage per player.
