WELLINGTON, Jan 7: West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard was reprimanded after damaging a glass door following his dismissal in Wednesday’s one-day loss to New Zealand.

Pollard pleaded guilty to a charge of breaching the International Cricket Council’s strict Code of Conduct when he faced match referee Javagal Srinath after his team’s seven-wicket defeat.

“Pollard damaged the door glass in the dressing room with his bat after he returned to the pavilion after being given out lbw by umpire Mark Benson in the 22nd over of the innings,” Srinath said in a statement.

“That is inappropriate behaviour and clearly unacceptable as the players are expected to accept and respect the umpires’ decision.”

West Indies were bowled out for just 128 runs after being sent in to bat. New Zealand cruised to victory with almost 30 overs to spare.—Reuters
