India A skipper Manish Pandey fined for breaching Code of Conduct

The right-hander missed a delivery from NPS leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson and was struck on the pads. He was immediately given out. But, after getting dismissed, he gestured with his right hand towards Umpire Shawn Craig instead of leaving the crease. He remained at the crease for more than 10 seconds before starting his walk off the ground. Pandey had admitted the Level 1 offence, but he challenged the proposed sanction of a fine equal to 30 percent of his match fee.
