"The decision is on expected lines. Let this be a lesson for all criketers that they should not lose their temper and do anything like this in the future", KCA Secretary TC Mathew told PTI in Thiruvananthapuram.

On the warning issued to Sreesanth, he said the Kerala player should maintain "decorum and diplomacy" to avoid aggression on the field.
