West Indies coach Stuart Law has been suspended for the two one day internationals against India for a breach of the ICC code of conduct.

He has been handed a 100 per cent fine and three demerit points, which means he has accumulated four demerit points within a 24-month period leading to the two-match ban.

The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon in Hyderabad in the second test when law, following the dismissal of Kieran Powell, went to the TV umpire’s room and made inappropriate comments. He then walked to the fourth umpire’s area and, in the presence of the players, again directed inappropriate comments at the fourth official.

Yesterday however, he admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Chris Broad of the emirates elite panel of ICC match referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

Law had previously received a 25 per cent fine and one demerit point during the final day’s play in the test against Pakistan in May 2017, with the addition of these three demerit points, he has reached the threshold of four demerit points, which, according to article 7.6 of the code, have now been converted into two suspension points.

Therefore, law has been suspended from the October 21 and 24 ODI’S against India in Guwahati and Visakha-patnam, respectively.

India and West Indies will play a five-match ODI series which will be followed by three T/20 International  India has already won the test series 2-nil with both wins coming inside three days.
