Indian cricket team has been fined for its slow over-rate during its nine-wicket
victory against Ireland in its one-day international match on June 23 here.
Match Referee Alan Hurst of the Emirates Elite Panel imposed the
fines after Rahul Dravid's side was ruled to be one over short of its target at
the scheduled finish of the Ireland innings, an International Cricket Council
press release said here today.
"In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations
governing over-rate penalties, players are fined five per cent of their match
fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the
captain fined double that amount.
As such, Dravid was been fined 10 per cent of his match fee
while each of his players received five per cent fines.
For such offences, the decision of the ICC match referee is
final and binding.
