Shakib was also handed one demerit point, it was his second such penalty since the introduction of the system in September 2016, for the offense during hosts’ eight-wicket defeat. The southpaw all-rounder now has two demerit points, having been handed one for an offense during a Twenty20 against Sri Lanka in March this year.

The flamboyant all-rounder showed dissent while batting after the umpire did not call a wide in the 14th over of the Bangladesh innings. Regarding the same, ICC’s statement read: “He first shouted at the umpire and then got involved in a prolonged discussion. After the end of the match, Shakib admitted the offense and accepted the sanction.”
