Jamaica Tallawahs batsman Asif Ali, who hails from Pakistan, has been found guilty of breaching the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Code of Conduct.

During the Tallawahs’ match against the Guyana Amazon Warriors on August 25, at Queen’s Park Oval, Ali swung his bat in the direction of opposition bowler Keemo Paul when he was dismissed in the eighth over of the innings.

Ali was charged with being in breach of section 2.18 of the Code of Conduct, acting contrary to the spirit of the game. Ali admitted the offence and has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee.

After an impressive start with an unbeaten 47-run knock, which led his team to victory over St Lucia Zouks, Asif has failed to get going in the tournament — accumulating only 41 runs in the next four innings.
