Top Cricketeers Fined

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados () -- Brian Lara and Carl Hooper have been fined by West Indies cricket officials for missing a team meeting ahead of their tour of India.


The size of the fine was not stated by West Indies Cricket Board of Control , which had asked the squad to assemble in London on Monday ahead of their departure for India on the following day. A mix-up in flight arrangements had left Lara stranded in Trinidad on Sunday.


In Multan, Pakistan, David Boon led Australia to a seven-wicket win over Pakistan on Friday in the second game of a one-day triangular series. Boon and Steve Waugh shared an undefeated 119 runs for the fourth wicket in Australia's second win in the series.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
