Pakistan all-rounder Salman Ali Agha was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday for losing his temper following his controversial run-out in the second ODI against Bangladesh.
Agha, who leads Pakistan in T20Is, received one demerit point for abuse of equipment after throwing his helmet and glove to the ground in anger following his dismissal at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. The all-rounder repeated the act after crossing the boundary rope on his way to the dressing room.
Match referee Neeyamur Rashid found Agha guilty of a Level 1 offence, in breach of Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which concerns the “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match”. This is Agha’s first offence in 24 months.
