Klaasen fined
South African cricketer Heinrich Klaasen has been fined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for damaging the field during a recent match against Pakistan.
In a thrilling one-day match at Newlands, Klaasen was on 97 runs and was dismissed with just 3 runs remaining to complete his century.
In frustration, Klaasen kicked the stumps with his feet after failing to lead his team to victory.
The footage went viral on the internet and sparked debate.
In this situation, the ICC said that Klaasen's actions violated the Code of Conduct.
It has also fined him 15% of his match fee.

Batting first, Pakistan scored 329 runs. Rizwan and Babar Azam made significant contributions for the Pakistani team.
In reply, despite Klaasen's hard-fought effort, South Africa lost by 81 runs.
