(Web Desk) – Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for opposing umpire during the first T20I against the Windies in Sylhet on Monday.
Shakib Al Hasan had breached the ICC Code of Conduct during the first T20I against the Windies.
Shakib was found to have breached the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision”.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Shakib, for whom it was the second offence since the introduction of the demerit system in September 2016.
Shakib now has two demerit points, having been handed one demerit point for an offence during a T20I against Sri Lanka in March this year.
The incident involving Shakib happened in the 14th over of Bangladesh’s innings when the left-hander, who was at the striker’s end, showed dissent at the umpire’s decision of not calling a wide when he first shouted at the umpire and then got involved in a prolonged discussion.
