Asia Cup T20: Shakib Al Hasan reprimanded for hitting stumps

By Oneindia Staff Writer

The player was found to have breached Article 2.1.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match", a media release from ICC said.

The incident happened in the 18th over of Bangladesh's innings when Shakib, after being dismissed by fast bowler Mohammad Aamir, hit the stumps with his bat in frustration. He then immediately apologised to the umpires for his action.

On Thursday morning (March 3), Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees. As such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Anil Chaudhary and Ruchira Palliyaguruge, third umpire Enamul Haque and fourth official Shozab Raza.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee.
