Shakib fined for misdemeanor in first Test against Pakistan
Sports Desk
Bangladesh star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was fined 10% of his match fee for his misbehaviour during the first cricket Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
Shakib played a key role in the side's maiden Test victory over Pakistan by taking three crucial wickets on the Day 5 game.
The incident occurred in the 33rd over of Pakistan's second innings on Sunday, when Shakib threw the ball towards the batter in an inappropriate manner, the ball going over Mohammad Rizwan's head to the wicketkeeper.
Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match Referee Madugalle, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Adrian Holdstock, third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire Rashid Riaz levelled the charges.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Shakib, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
