West  Indies  pacer Shannon  Gabriel  will  miss  the  second  test  against  Bangladesh  which  starts  next  Friday in Mirpur….after he was slapped with a one-match ban  by the  ICC.

This  stemming from an incident  on  yesterday’s  opening  day  of  the  first  test  in  Chittagong  where   he made physical contact with batsman Imrul Kayes.

The  incident  which  occurred  in  the  8th  over  resulted  in  him receiving  two demerit points  and  a  fine  of   30% of his match fee……….. taking his tally of demerit points to five.

Gabriel had picked up three demerit points during the Jamaica test against Pakistan in April 2017………….where he also made contact with batsman Sarfraz Ahmed at the non-striker’s end while collecting his cap from the umpire.

An ICC statement said Gabriel admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee David Boon, so there was no formal hearing.
