US EditionWI vs AUS, 1st Test: West Indies Bowler Jayden Seales Fined for Cummins Send-Off
- Jayden Seales of the West Indies was penalized with a 15% deduction from his match fee and received one demerit point after he made a gesture toward the pavilion following the dismissal of Pat Cummins on June 25, 2025, in Bridgetown.
- Seales was found guilty of violating Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which forbids behavior that might incite an aggressive response from a batter after being dismissed, marking his second infraction within a 24-month timeframe.
- The incident occurred during the first Test of the series at Kensington Oval, where Seales took 5 for 60 to help dismiss Australia for 180, while several contentious umpiring decisions also affected the match.
- Seales admitted the offence and said he “did not really mean anything” and that his gesture was “more a bit of frustration” after Cummins hit some good shots off him.
- With two demerit points on record, Seales faces increased disciplinary scrutiny, and the match remained finely balanced with West Indies dismissed for 190 and Australia reduced to 92-4 in the third innings.
