Nov.19 (CRICKETNMORE) - Comilla Victorians captain Tamim Iqbal and wicket-keeper Liton Kumer Das have been fined 50 percent of their respective match fees for breaching Level 2 of the BCB Code of Conduct during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2017 match against Rangpur Riders at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on 18 November. Both players were found to have breached Article 2.2.5 of the BCB Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ‘showing serious dissent at an umpire’s decision’.
Tamim and Liton were charged by on-field umpires Ranmore Martinesz and Mahfuzur Rahman, third umpire Morshed Ali Khan and fourth umpire Mozahiduzzaman for their animated show of disapproval at an umpiring decision in the Rangpur Riders innings after batsman Ravi Bopara had been adjudged not out to a caught behind appeal.
The players admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee Salim Shahed and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
