He was fined 15 percent of his match fee and given a demerit point after being charged by the ICC with a level one offence of 'use of an audible obscenity'.

A 1-0 over the Brisbane Bandits in Albany on Saturday night was enough for the Tuatara to clinch the fifth and final playoff berth - and knock the four-time champion Bandits out of contention.
The Tuatara went on to record a 4-3 win over Brisbane on Sunday, and topped the league's North-East division.
They'll open their three-game semi-final series away to Melbourne on Thursday, with the remaining two matches scheduled for Auckland on Saturday and Sunday if necessary.

Plumlee had an impact at both ends of the floor as the Perth Wildcats beat the Breakers 80-79 in a nail-biter in Perth on Saturday night.
Plumlee ended with 23 points, 17 rebounds and an impressive highlights reel of dunks for the second-placed Wildcats.
The Breakers had possession for the last few seconds of the game but could not convert the possession into points as they turned over the ball and potentially ended their chances of making the finals.
Brandon Ashley was the Breakers' leading scorer with 21 points and 11 rebounds and Finn Delany hit 16 points.
The Breakers will need to win all four of their remaining games to have a chance of sneaking into the top four.

Rally comes down to close finale
The season-opening Monte Carlo rally was set for a nail-biting finale after leader Elfyn Evans, France's Sebastien Ogier and Belgian Thierry Neuville were all within 6.4 seconds of each other at the end of Saturday's third leg.
Six-times world champion Ogier and his Toyota team mate Evans were tied at the top after the 11th stage but the French driver lost 4.9 seconds to the Welshman in the 12th.
Neuville (Hyundai) won the final two stages on Saturday to end up 1.5 seconds behind Ogier with four stages left on Sunday.
Should he maintain his lead, Evans would win his second rally after prevailing at the 2017 Wales Rally.

Injured captain set up to watch Super League
Hull KR will provide stricken captain Mose Masoe with a live feed of their Super League matches this year to keep the former NRL player in touch with the team from his hospital bed.
The 30-year-old Samoan prop continues to be treated for a serious spinal injury, suffered in a pre-season friendly, which has brought his career to a sudden and tragic end.
Masoe was appointed Rovers captain, alongside Weller Hauraki, before both were injured a fortnight ago in the same game at Wakefield.
In the absence of Masoe and Hauraki, who will be out for up to three months with an ankle injury, Smith has handed the captaincy to new signing Shaun Kenny- Dowall, another former Rooster.
The ex-New Zealand international says the team will be playing for Masoe in 2020.
