West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales has been fined 15 percent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council for breaching the code of conduct during the first Test against Australia in Barbados. The incident occurred when Seales made a gesture towards the dressing room after dismissing Australian captain Pat Cummins at Kensington Oval.
The ICC found Seales in violation of Article 2.5 of the Code of Conduct, which deals with using actions or gestures that could provoke an aggressive reaction from a dismissed batter during an international match.

"It did not really mean anything and it was more a bit of frustration. Pat hit a couple of good shots off me and I just showed him where the dressing room was and there wasn't really anything in it," Seales explained.
Along with the fine, Seales received one demerit point, his second offence in 24 months, bringing his total demerit points to two for that period.
The West Indies bowling attack, including Seales, showed strong performance on the second day of the Test match against the World Test Championship runners-up Australia.
