“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,” said the International Cricket Council (ICC) in a statement. “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 incident occurred during the 11th over of Zimbabwe`s innings when an lbw appeal against Tashinga Musekiwa was turned down off the bowling of captain Rashid Khan.
“Naib displayed dissent by bowing in a mock prayer and requesting a review, despite DRS not being available in the match,” ICC added. Apart from the fine, a demerit point has been added to the former Afghanistan skipper`s disciplinary record, marking his first offence within a 24-month period. “The cricketer admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee Andy Pycroft. As a result, there was no need for a formal hearing.” The third and final T20I will be played at the Harare Sports Club later on Saturday.
