Match Referee Andy Pycroft: Afghanistan's Gulbadin Naib has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against Zimbabwe in Harare on Friday.
"Naib has been penalised for violating Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during an international match," the ICC statement said.
The incident occurred during the 11th over of Zimbabwe’s innings when an LBW appeal against Tashinga Musekiwa was turned down off captain Rashid Khan's bowling. Naib displayed dissent by bowing in a mock prayer and requesting a review, despite DRS not being available in the match.
