The incident occurred on the fourth day of the Test, when Bravo was involved in a verbal altercation with England captain Joe Root. Bravo was caught on camera making dismissive gestures towards Root, and was also seen to have made physical contact with him.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has since released a statement condemning Bravo's behaviour, calling it "unprofessional and unacceptable". The WICB has also stated that Bravo will not be considered for selection for the upcoming Test series against India.
