Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first T20I against the Windies in Sylhet on Monday. Shakib was found to have breached Article 2.8 of 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.

14th over of Bangladesh innings

The incident involving Shakib happened in the 14th over of Bangladesh’s innings. He was batting and when the umpire didn’t call one of the deliveries he expected to be a wide ball, the left-hander, who was at the striker’s end, showed dissent at the umpire’s decision. He first shouted at the umpire and then got involved in a prolonged discussion.

After the end of the match, Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Umpires and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Saikat Sharfuddoula and Tanvir Ahmed, third umpire Masudur Rahman and fourth umpire Gazi Sohel.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
