JOHANNESBURG: South Africa have asked
the International Cricket Council (ICC) to take action against West Indian
Sulieman Benn for incidents in this week's third and final Test in Bridgetown,
Barbados.
Tail-ender Dale Steyn was fined his entire match fee by the
ICC for spitting in the direction of spin bowler Benn when the South African was
dismissed on day three on Monday.
However, South Africa manager
Mohammed Moosajee said on Friday his team had also laid a code of conduct charge
against the West Indian.
"Dale Steyn's action was regrettable and he
has apologised for it," Moosajee told a news conference as his squad arrived
back in Johannesburg. "But it came after lots of provocation and there was also
retaliation after the incident.
"We have laid a code of conduct
charge against Sulieman Benn with the ICC and that must now go through the
judicial process."
West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach was also fined
50 percent of his match fee for an "unpleasant altercation" on day
four.
South Africa won the third Test by seven wickets to complete a
2-0 series win after sweeping West Indies 5-0 in the one-dayers and 2-0 in the
Twenty20 internationals.
