All-rounder also receives one demerit point for throwing helmet and glove in anger after dismissal in Dhaka<\/p>\n

\n

Pakistan all-rounder Salman Ali Agha was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday for losing his cool following his controversial run-out in the second ODI against Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Agha, who leads Pakistan in T20Is, received one demerit point for abuse of equipment after throwing his helmet and glove to the ground in anger following his dismissal at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. The all-rounder repeated the act after crossing the boundary rope on his way to the dressing room.<\/p>\n

Match referee Neeyamur Rashid found Agha guilty of a Level 1 offence, in breach of Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which concerns the \u201cabuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match\u201d. This is Agha\u2019s first offence in 24 months.<\/p>\n

According to the ICC<\/a>, Agha admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Rashid of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.<\/p>\n

The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Adrian Holdstock and Tanvir Ahmed, third umpire Kumar Dharmasena, and fourth umpire Masudur Rahman Mukul.<\/p>\n

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player\u2019s match fee, and one or two demerit points.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred in the 39th over of Pakistan\u2019s innings. After being run out, Agha threw his gloves and helmet to the ground in frustration when Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz came in his way while he was trying to ground his bat past the non-striker\u2019s crease during a fourth-wicket partnership with Mohammad Rizwan.<\/p>\n

Believing the ball was dead, Agha crouched to pick it up to return it, only for Miraz to snatch it and break the stumps, ending the 109-run partnership.<\/p>\n

The dismissal immediately reignited discussions about the \u201cspirit of cricket\u201d, drawing comparisons with the 2023 Ashes controversy involving Australia\u2019s Alex Carey and England\u2019s Jonny Bairstow.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think sportsman spirit has to be there,\u201d Agha told reporters after Pakistan\u2019s 128-run win. \u201cWhat he has done is within the law. If he thinks it\u2019s right, it\u2019s right, but if you ask me my perspective, I would have done differently. I would have gone for sportsman spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the controversy, Pakistan recovered from the setback. After the run-out, the Shaheen Shah Afridi-led visitors lost their last seven wickets for just 43 runs, finishing at 274. However, the collapse did not cost Pakistan victory.<\/p>\n

Maaz Sadaqat, Player of the Match, top-scored with 75 and took 3\/23, while Haris Rauf also took three wickets as Bangladesh were bundled out for 114 in reply.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
