Comilla Victorians head coach Mohammad Salahuddin has been fined 50 percent of his match fees for a breach of the BCB Code of Conduct.

In addition to the fine, three demerit points were added to the disciplinary record of the Comilla coach.

A controversial decision taken by the off-field umpires through the Alternative Decision Review System (ADRS) in the fixture between Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal in Chattogram on Saturday.

Following Comilla’s match, Salahuddin was found guilty of breaching Level 2 Article 2.7 of the BCB Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ‘Public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in a Match’.

After the match Salahuddin helplessly said there will be no benefit in protesting these sorts of incidents.

"Do you want us to shout on the field? That will only lead to suspension. There is no use in protesting. There is no point in writing or protesting. Our hands and feet are tied, there is really nothing to do"

On Sunday, Salahuddin admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Debabrata Paul and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charges were leveled by on-field umpires David Millns and Morshed Ali Khan, third umpire Tanvir Ahmed and fourth official Mozahiduzzaman Swapan.
