The International Cricket Council (ICC) fines the West Indies for maintaining a slow over-rate during the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground. According to multiple reports, the punishment is issued after the match and announced on Wednesday. The ICC imposes a financial penalty of 10% of each West Indies player’s match fee, meaning team members must each contribute a portion of their earnings from the game. In addition to the monetary fine, the ICC applies sporting consequences under its Test match regulations tied to the World Test Championship. Barbados Today reports that the side is also penalised two World Test Championship points for the over-rate breach. Both sources describe the over-rate problem as having occurred during the second Test and indicate the team is fined despite completing the match on the field. The reports do not describe any other changes to match results. The sanction reflects the ICC’s enforcement of over-rate targets for Test cricket.
