Hyderabad, October 16 

West Indies coach Stuart Law was on Tuesday suspended from the first two ODIs against India for making “inappropriate comments” against a match official on the final day of the second Test. Following the dismissal of opener Kieran Powell, Law went to the TV umpire’s room and made inappropriate comments. A statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC) stated: “He then walked to the fourth umpire’s area and, in the presence of the players, directed inappropriate comments at the official.” Law was found guilty of breaching Level 2 Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct. With the latest transgression, Law accumulated four demerit points within a 24-month period, leading to his suspension from the ODIs on October 21 and 24 in Guwahati and Visakhapatnam, respectively.

Law had earlier received a 25 per cent fine and one demerit point during the final day’s play in the the Roseau Test against Pakistan in 2017. Four demerit points convert into two suspension points. On Monday, Law admitted the offence and accepted the sanction. — PTI
