Tanzim Hasan Shakib, who was one of the architects to win the match against Nepal, saw a blow when he was fined 15 percent of his match fee for his code of conduct violation on Sunday.
Tanzim, the young pace bowler, who performed his career best with bowling exceptionally well in the game and finished with a match-winning spell of four wickets conceding only seven runs with record 21 dots in the Men’s T20 World Cup.
But the seamer was fined due to breach the code of conduct of the ICC. The incident occurred at the end of the third over of Nepal’s innings, when Tanzim, after bowling a delivery, walked towards Nepal batter Rohit Paudel in an aggressive manner and made inappropriate physical contact, as he was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match”.
Tanzim admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, and there was no need for a formal hearing.
Bangladesh's win over Nepal ensured their progression to the Super Eight stage of the event, with their next match coming against Australia in Antigua tomorrow.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Tanzim’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
According to the ICC rule –“When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned.
“Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.
“Demerit Points to remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel’s disciplinary record for a period of twenty-four (24) months from their imposition following which they will be expunged.
