Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan will be given an unofficial reprimand for gesturing at a spectator, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Friday.

Muralitharan was photographed making a one-fingered gesture at a spectator who heckled him during a one-day match against South Africa in Perth on Tuesday.

Match referee Jeff Crowe said that while he accepted Muralitharan had been provoked, the Sri Lankan was still bound by rules governing player behaviour. (Reuters)
