Barisal batsman Nasiruddin Faruque has been suspended for today’s National Cricket League final after being found guilty of dissent in Friday’s game at the Sher-e-Bangla.
The incident occurred in the last game of the second phase when the left-handed opener was given out leg-before in the fifth over against Dhaka. There was a loud appeal from bowler Mahmudullah Riyad and when given out (on the front foot), Faruque stood still for quite sometime and trudged off, looking towards the umpire. When he had crossed the boundary rope near the players’ viewing area, he threw away his bat in disgust.
A BCB (Bangladesh Cricket Board) press release also said that Faruque “used abusive language after being given out and continued behaving in an improper manner for the rest of the game”.
Match referee Akhtar Ahmad found the player in breach of the BCB Code of Conduct and ICC Code of Conduct (Level of offence 2.2.1).
He was also fined his entire match fee for the game.
