ICC issues warning to Pakistan cricketer Salman Ali Agha

Updated on:

Pakistan cricketer Salman Ali Agha received an ICC warning and demerit point for misconduct during the Bangladesh Test match.

SYLHET (Web Desk) – Salman Ali Agha has been officially warned for breaching the International Cricket Council Code of Conduct during the second Test match against Bangladesh in Sylhet.

According to the ICC, Salman Agha violated Level One of the code related to inappropriate conduct involving cricket equipment, ground fixtures or other objects during a match.

The incident occurred during the 82nd over of Pakistan’s second innings when Salman Agha, after being dismissed, struck an advertising board with his bat while walking back to the pavilion in frustration.

Following the incident, match officials initiated disciplinary action against the Pakistani batter.

The ICC also added one demerit point to Salman Agha’s disciplinary record.

It was his second offence within the last 24 months, increasing his total demerit points to two.

Earlier in March, Salman Agha was found guilty of a similar breach during a One Day International match against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

The Pakistani cricketer admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.
