He was found texting his girlfriend during the course of a match. While no corruption charges has been levelled, using mobile phone in PMOA during course of a match is prohibited. Hence it's a protocol breach," a senior TNCA official told PTI on Friday.
Initially, a much harsher punishment was in store for the 26-year-old as TNCA was mulling a two-year ban, but since the offence isn't of grave nature, he was let off with Rs 1 lakh fine.
