LONDON (Web Desk) – English pacer Stuart Broad has been fined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after posting a tweet questioning the first-innings dismissal of team-mate Alex Hales during the fourth Test.
Stuart Broad faced the music after he replied to Daily Mirror cricket correspondent Dean Wilson who tweeted:
“THAT IS OUT – Hales (6) clips Amir to Yasir at mid-wkt who takes a low catch diving forward. Replays are unclear but umps say out 23-1.”
Stuart Broad replied to Dean Wilson raising question over the decision for which he was hit with 20% of his match fee – around £2,000.
Broad replied to the tweet as:

Broad’s reply violated the ICC’s code of conduct relating to “public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an international match”.
Here is the video of Yasir Shah taking a low catch that stirred controversy.

Alex Hales also faced a 15% fine reportedly due to his argument with the third umpire after his dismissal.
