Mushfiqur fined
Beximco Dhaka Captain Mushfiqur Rahim has been fined 25 percent of his match fees for breach of the BCB Code of Conduct in the first qualifier against Fortune Barishal on December 14 at the SBNCS, said a press release from the BCB today.
According to the press release, Mushfiqur was found guilty of showing insulting gesture towards Nasum Ahmed during the match, which constitutes to a Level 1 (2.6) offense.
In addition to the sanction imposed, one demerit point has been added to the player's disciplinary record. If Mushfiqur reaches four or more demerit points in the tournament, the points will then be converted into match suspension and he will be banned.
Mushfiqur accepted the sanction and as such no official hearing was required, added the press release.
Mushfiqur was animated all through that crucial game, which Dhaka eventually won by nine runs. He remonstrated with a number of his teammates for fielding lapses or wayward bowling. His attitude, especially the treatment of young teammate Nasum, immediately came under heavy criticism from all quarters, with his histrionics spreading like wildfire on social media.
