Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was fined 15 percent of his match fees by the the International Cricket Council (ICC) for shouting at the umpire during the first Twenty20 international against West Indies.
Shakib was also handed one demerit point, his second such penalty since the system was introduced in 2016, for the offence during the Tigers’ eight-wicket loss. Shakib was handed one demerit point during a Twenty20 against Sri Lanka in March this year.
Shakib showed dissent after the umpire did not call a wide in the 14th over of the Bangladesh innings.
“He first shouted at the umpire and then got involved in a prolonged discussion,” said an ICC statement.
“After the end of the match, Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction,” it said, adding no formal hearing was required.
Shakib scored 61 off 43 balls in the Sylhet T20. The West Indies bowled out Bangladesh for 129 and reached the target with 55 balls in hand to take 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
