Shakib Al Hasan reprimanded for swing at stumps
Shakib Al Hasan has officially been
reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of
the ICC Code of Conduct. The breach
took place in Bangladesh's five-wicket
win over Pakistan in Mirpur on
Wednesday (March 2).
The incident occurred in the 18th over
being bowled by Mohammad Amir
when Shakib walked across to play the
lap shot and was bowled in the
process. Furious, he turned around and
took a swing at the stumps after
which, he immediately apologised to
the umpires.
A level 1 violation of Article 2.1.8
relating to "abuse of cricket equipment
or clothing, ground equipment or
fixtures and fittings during an
International Match", imposes an
official reprimand at the least and a
maximum of 50 per cent of the match
fee.
Shakib admitted to the offence and
accepted Jeff Crowe's sanction.
The Asia Cup final will be played
between Bangladesh and India on
March 6.
