Sri Lanka's Maharoof reprimanded

Sri Lanka all rounder Farveez Maharoof has been severely reprimanded for excessive appealing, an ICC statement said on Wednesday.

Maharoof's was named man-of-the-match after taking three wickets for nine runs against West Indies on Tuesday but faced a hearing afterwards for not turning around to appeal after Xavier Marshall was caught behind.

"ICC match referee Mike Proctor found Maharoof guilty for breaching Clause 1.5 of the ICC's Code of Conduct," the statement said.

"Maharoof

pleaded guilty to the charge of celebrating the dismissal before the umpire had made his decision and of not turning around and appealing to the umpire."

India's left-armer Ashish Nehra was fined 50 per cent of his match fee and given a severe reprimand earlier in the week for excessive appealing during India's first match against Sri Lanka.
