COLOMBO: The International Cricket Council (ICC) Saturday fined Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan over his aggressive behaviour during a thrilling Twenty20 match against Sri Lanka.
The sport’s world governing body said Shakib pleaded guilty to the charge of “conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game” at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday. He was also awarded a demerit point.
Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by two wickets in the ill-tempered match to reach the final of the tri-nation tournament.
The incident involving Shakib took place after the second ball of the final over of the Bangladesh innings when he came to the edge of the boundary and asked his batsmen to come off the field.
