Bangladesh’s ace all-rounder Sakib al Hasan received an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during his side’s Asia Cup Twenty20 match against Pakistan in Mirpur on Wednesday, stated an ICC press release. On Thursday morning, Sakib admitted the offence 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.
The incident happened in the 18th over of Bangladesh’s run chase when Sakib, after being dismissed, hit the stumps with
his bat in frustration. He then immediately apologised to the umpires for his action.
