Pakistan seamer Hasan Ali was reprimanded and given one demerit point for the send off he gave to Bangladesh batsman Nurul Hasan Sohan during the first Twenty20 international between the sides on Friday.
After dismissing Nurul Hasan Sohan in the 17th over of the match, Hasan gave Sohan an inappropriate send off. Doing that, Hasan breached the Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
Hasan was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”
The Bangladesh team, on the other hand, were fined 20 per cent of their match fee for slow over rate.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined 20 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
Hasan and Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Neeyamur Rashid of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees and ratified by the ICC Cricket Operations department as per the Covid-19 interim playing regulations. There was no need for formal hearings.
On-field umpires Sharfudoulla Ibne Shahid and Masudur Rahman, third umpire Gazi Sohel and fourth official Tanvir Ahmed levelled the charges.
