MacGill fined

Melbourne: Stuart MacGill has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for verbally abusing Pakistan ‘A’ batsman Mansoor Amjad during Australia A’s unofficial cricket Test match in Faisalabad.

The Australian was reported for approaching Amjad after he was struck on the foot by one of the spinner’s deliveries towards the closing stages of the match.

A hearing was convened in Lahore on Sunday, during which MacGill was reported under clause 2.6 of the Cricket Australia (CA) Code of Behaviour, which relates to “use (of) language that is obscene, offensive or of a generally insulting nature to another player, official or spectator.” Commenting on the decision, CA’s General Manager Michael Brown, said, “I have no problem with players being combative on the field but there is a line they cannot cross and Stuart crossed that line.”

“It is disappointing that such a senior player would be charged under 2.6 of our Code of Behaviour as we believe a player with nearly 200 Test wickets should be showing leadership. — PTI
