Left-arm pacer Sohail Tanvir has been fined 15% of his match fee for making an obscene gesture during a game in the Caribbean Premier League.

Tanvir, who is playing for Guyana Amazon Warriors showed double-middle finger to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots hard-hitting batsman Chris Lynn after dismissing him with a yorker.
