England all-rounder Ravi Bopara has been fined along with West Indies duo Marlon Samuels and Darren Sammy after all three admitted to breaching the International Cricket Council's code of conduct.
Bopara and Samuels exchanged heated words in England's 27-run defeat in the first Twenty20 international against the Windies at Bridgetown yesterday.
The incident occurred in the 12th over of England's reply, with West Indies captain Sammy also involved in the spat.
All three were found guilty of breaching Article 2.1.8 of the code, which states: "Where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the (above) offence, conduct that either: (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute".
Bopara was fined 25 per cent of his match fee for his part, with Sammy and Samuels fined 20 and 10 per cent respectively.
