NEW DELHI. — England opener Jason Roy and all-rounder David Willey have been fined at the World Twenty20 cricket after emotions spilled over during their win over Sri Lanka on Saturday.

Both players gave solid performances during England’s nail-biting 10-run victory over Sri Lanka in New Delhi to secure a place in the semifinals.

But Roy was fined 30 percent of his match fee for swearing and then throwing his bat and helmet upon leaving the field, after being given out lbw for 42 off 39 balls.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday that Roy had shown “dissent at an umpire’s decision during an international match”. — AFP.
