NOTTINGHAM, England, July 31 (AFP): Indian fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth was fined 50 per cent of his match fee after brushing shoulders with England captain Michael Vaughan during play at Trent Bridge on Monday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.
The incident occurred during the first session of cricket with England batting, and Sreesanth was initially spoken to by South African umpire Ian Howell.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct, specifically clause 2.4, which relates to "inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play."
