• Root said: ‘There’s nothing wrong with being gay’
West Indies bowler Shannon Gabriel has accepted the International Cricket Council’s code of conduct charge relating to a comment made to England’s Joe Root and will miss the first four matches of the one-day series.
Gabriel has been sanctioned for his part in an on-field exchange with Root on day three of the third Test in St Lucia, which ended with the England captain telling the 30-year-old: “Don’t use it as an insult. There’s nothing wrong with being gay.”
