Shakib meanwhile, was fined 50% of his match fee for his offensive reaction to an LBW appeal being turned down by the umpire. Article 2.2.4 relates to “Using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a seriously insulting nature to another Player, Player Support Personnel, umpire, match referee or any other third person during a match’. In addition, three demerit points have been added to Shakib’s disciplinary record.
Level 2 breaches carry a minimum penalty of a fine of 30% of the match fee and a maximum penalty of a suspension of one match and three or four demerit points.
