Stokes fined by ICC after foul language rant at spectator

Stokes was shown on television exchanging insults with a spectator as he walked off the field after being caught cheaply for two runs in England’s first innings on the opening day of the fourth test at The Wanderers, known as ‘the bullring’ for its often hostile atmosphere.

Stokes admitted the offence and accepted the sanction, the ICC said. He apologised several hours after the incident, while Ashley Giles, Managing Director for England Men’s Cricket said other England personnel had been abused and issued a strong condemnation. “Throughout the Tests so far, the support from both sets of fans has been brilliant. One incident will not ruin such a competitive series, which we are determined to win,” he added.

“In addition to this incident, members of our support staff were subjected to personal abuse during and after the day’s play,” he said.
