Khaleel warned for send-off

-

India paceman Khaleel Ahmad has received an official warning for aggressive­ly charging towards West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels in the fourth ODI in Mumbai, the Internatio­nal Cricket Council announced on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old Ahmad fell foul of the global governing body’s code of conduct during the 14th over in West Indies’ chase on Monday when he yelled at Samuels after taking his wicket.

“The left-armer, after having Marlon Samuels caught in the slips by Rohit Sharma, advanced aggressive­ly towards the departing batter, which, in the view of the on-field umpires, could have provoked a reaction from the Windies player,” said an ICC statement.
