India bowler warned for Samuels send-off

India paceman Khaleel Ahmed has received an official warning for aggressively charging towards West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels in the fourth ODI in Mumbai. Khaleel, 20, fell foul of the International Cricket Council’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. Khaleel, who has played five ODIs since making his debut in September, returned career-best figures of 3-13 in India’s 224-run crushing win over West Indies to lead the five-match series 2-1.
