Abbas was penalised for celebrating in an “animated manner” near dismissed batter Jomel Warrican, the final wicket of the innings, it added.
“Both players admitted their offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for formal hearings.
“On-field umpires Alex Wharf and Richard Kettleborough and third umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal levelled the charges,” the press release said.
It also explained that Level 1 breaches carried a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50pc of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
The ICC’s announcement of penalties came a day after Pakistan lost the Tarouba Test against West Indies — the first of a two-match series — by 90 runs on the fourth day of the Test.
