Drakes fine rescinded

A fine imposed on Barbados all-rounder Vasbert Drakes during the Red Stripe Bowl West Indies limited-overs championship earlier this year has been rescinded.

Drakes was fined half his match fee for showing dissent in the Red Stripe Bowl match against Jamaica at Sabina Park on Saturday, August 24.

After the match, Drakes was summoned to a hearing also attended by umpires Cecil Fletcher and Maurice Chung, as well as Barbados manager Tony Howard and match referee Johnny Gayle.

After a review, it was found that the hearing was improperly conducted because the Barbados captain Courtney Browne was not invited to the hearing as outlined in the Code of Conduct.
