Gabriel, 30, accepted an ICC charge after he was warned by on-field umpires during the third test for comments made towards England captain Joe Root. "Gabriel already had five demerit points against his name for two earlier incidents - three demerit points during the Jamaica test against Pakistan in April 2017 and two demerit points in the Chittagong test against Bangladesh last November," the ICC said in a statement. "With the addition of these three demerit points, he has reached the threshold of eight demerit points, which, pursuant to article 7.6 of the Code, have been converted into four suspension points." Gabriel had earlier been suspended from the Mirpur test in November last year when he reached the threshold of four demerit points. West Indies host England in a five-match ODI series starting on Feb. 20 in Barbados.
