Najmul Hossain Shanto
Sylhet Strikers opener Najmul Hasan Shanto has been reprimanded for breaching the BCB code of conduct during the second qualifier game against Rangpur Riders on Tuesday.
Shanto lost his cool after getting out on 40 runs, the latter burst into anger when he was sent off by Mahedi Hasan. He expressed disappointment over the umpire's decision and then enraged toward the pavilion.
The player admitted the offense and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee and as such, no formal hearing was needed. However, Shanto was slammed with two-demerit points and a penalty of 30 percent of match fees.
Shanto was found in breach of Article 2.2 of the BCB Code of Conduct and was handed one demerit point for abusing equipment in a match against CHatoogram Challengers.
Pursuant to Article 7.5 of the Code of Conduct, if a player reaches four or more demerit points in the tournament, these points will be converted into match suspension, and the player will be banned for one match.
