Herschelle Gibbs has been found guilty of breaching Cricket South Africa's Rules of Conduct during a domestic game in Cape Town. The reprimand came less than a week after Gibbs was arrested for alleged drunken driving.
Clause 1.4 of the rules states that players shall not use crude or abusive language nor make offensive gestures.
Gibbs appeared before Cricket South Africa's disciplinary commissioner Michael Kuper after match referee Barry Lambson complained against his conduct for an incident that occurred during the Pro20 match between the Dolphins and Cobra on Match 26 at Newlands.
"Gibbs was severely reprimanded for his actions when he appeared in Johannesburg today," a statement from the board read.
Gibbs is currently out on bail for R500 for the drunken driving charge and is scheduled to appear in court on June 27.
