Clarke fined 50 per cent of match fee
DHAKA (AFP) - England all-rounder Rikki Clarke was fined 50 per cent of his match fee for verbal abuse during their first-ever cricket Test against Bangladesh here.
Match referee Wasim Raja of Pakistan announced the fine after a meeting with the Surrey player on the fifth and final day of the match on Saturday, which England won by seven wickets.
The 22-year-old, making his Test debut for England, was found guilty of abusing Bangladesh all-rounder Mushfiqur Rahman on the fourth day after Rahman hit him for two boundaries in an over during his unbeaten knock of 46.
