Shakib, Wahab fined

Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan and Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz have both been fined for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the final day's play of the drawn first Test in Khulna.

Both the players were fined 30 per cent of their match fees by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees.

The players were found to have breached Article 2.1.8 (a) of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "conduct contrary to the spirit of the game".

The incident that saw them fined occurred in the 118th over of Bangladesh's second innings, when the two players unnecessarily halted play by arguing and pointing fingers at each other.

Both the players admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Mr Crowe and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
