DHAKA: Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan received an official reprimand for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his side’s Asia Cup match against Pakistan in Mirpur on Wednesday.

The incident happened in the 18th over of Bangladesh’s innings when Shakib, after being dismissed, hit the stumps with his bat in frustration. He then immediately apologised to the umpires.

The offense is levelled as Level one breaches that relates to “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match.”

Shakib admitted to the offense 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.
