The right-hander has been fined 10 percent of his match fee and has one demerit point added to his disciplinary record.
The incident occurred during the fifth over of the match when David held his hands outstretched and signalled for the delivery to be called as a wide when a ball from Alzarri Joseph was delivered down the leg side.
David made 30 in the St Kitts contest to help Australia register a narrow three-wicket triumph that clinched a 5-0 series sweep over the West Indies.
