The ICC have fined England all-rounder Moeen Ali 25% of his match fee after he was spotted "applying a drying agent to his bowling hand" during the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
Moeen admitted the offence and the ICC accepted his explanation that the agent was used to try his hands and not to tamper with the condition of the ball. However, Moeen failed to get approval from the on-field umpires to use the spray.
In a statement, the ICC said: "Moeen Ali was found to have breached Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to displaying conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.
