He was fined 30 percent of his match fee for breaching Article 2.1.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, the ICC said Wednesday.
The article relates to “… where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the above offences, conduct that either: (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute.”
Bravo had been warned on several occasions not to approach and verbally offend the opposition batsmen and repeatedly failed to heed the umpires’ instructions.
Bravo disputed the offence and a formal hearing was then conducted by match referee Roshan Mahanama, with the charge having initially been brought by on-field umpires Stephen Davis, Richard Illingworth, third umpire Marais Erasmus and fourth umpire Peter Nero.
Mahanama found the player guilty and issued a fine of 30 percent of his match fee. “The umpires felt that the player’s behaviour brought the game into disrepute and he was reminded of his responsibilities to extend respect at all times to both his opponent and to match officials,” said Mahanama.
