Reece Topley Fined for Smashing Chair After Latest Injury Setback

England fast bowler Reece Topley has been fined 15% of his match fee by the ICC for damaging a chair in frustration after suffering a knee injury during the first T20I against West Indies.

The incident occurred after Topley was forced to leave the field due to the injury. In a moment of frustration, he damaged a chair in the pavilion. The ICC charged him with a Level 1 breach of the Code of Conduct for “abuse of cricket equipment or ground equipment during an International Match.”

This is not the first time Topley has reacted angrily to an injury. During the 2023 ODI World Cup, he damaged a chair after suffering a finger injury. However, he escaped punishment on that occasion.

Despite his talent, Topley has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. This latest setback is a significant blow for the English team, who are already facing a number of injury concerns.

It remains to be seen how long Topley will be sidelined and whether he will be fit for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
