GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie will part with 75 per cent of his match fee after breaching the Caribbean Premier League’s Code of Conduct.

Following the 16th over of the Amazon Warriors, Santokie threw the ball in the direction of batsman Steven Jacobs.

He was subsequently charged by umpires under Article 2.2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during a CPL Match.”

There was no formal hearing after Santokie admitted to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction.

Amazon Warriors play Trinbago Knight Riders later Sunday at 7 pm.
