The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) has confirmed that Nicholas Pooran of the Trinbago Knight Riders has been charged with a Level 1 offence under the CPL Code of Conduct.
The charge stems from Pooran showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during the Eliminator match against the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons.
He has accepted the sanction, which carries a fine of 20 per cent of his match fee.
Pooran’s altercation with Umpire Ryan Banwarie began in the 8th over of the Trinbago Knight Riders’ chase, when he was wrongly given out lbw – a decision later overturned on review. However, Pooran continued to direct words at the Umpire for the remainder of the match.
In the end, Pooran offered an apology to the umpire after the match concluded.
