ICC Fines Bangladesh’s Nahida Akter and Sarmin Sultana for Level 1 Code Breaches

Level 1 penalties can cut match fees and add demerit points.

Overview

  • The ICC, which announced the sanctions Saturday, fined each player 10% of her match fee and added one demerit point.
  • Nahida Akter breached Article 2.5 by giving Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu a send-off in the 17th over, pointing toward the pavilion.
  • Sarmin Sultana breached Article 2.8 by showing dissent after a 16th-over LBW call, pointing to her bat and delaying her exit.
  • The officiating team filed the charges after the match, with both players accepting sanctions proposed by match referee Supriya Rani Das, so no hearing was needed.
  • Sri Lanka won the second ODI in Rajshahi to level the series 1-1, setting up a decider at Shahid Kamruzzaman Stadium.
