Shamsi tweeted an apology after the match
South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi was fined half his match fees for his bizarre protest after a leg-before appeal was turned down by the umpire in the Caribbean Premier League final. An official release from the CPL stated that the spinner admitted to a Level 2 breach of the code of conduct. The incident occurred when the chinaman bowler, representing the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots, was convinced that he had trapped Javon Searles of the Trinbago Knight Riders lbw. Shamsi ran down the wickets after the umpire ruled not out as he excessively appealed to the umpire to change his mind. He then displayed his frustration and made several angry gestures at the official for his refusal to budge.
