Rashid Khan reprimanded for breach of ICC Code of Conduct during Afghanistan vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup clash

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan has been reprimanded and handed a demerit point for breaching and ICC Code of Conduct during the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2024 clash on June 24 in St Vincent.

Rashid has been sanctioned by the International body for showing dissent towards his teammate Karim Janat in the must-win clash in the Super 8 stage. He has been found to violate Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct and has breached Article 2.9, which relates to "throwing a ball or



any other cricket equipment at or near a player in an inappropriate or dangerous manner during an international match."

This was Rashid's first offence within a 24-month period. "Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points," an ICC statement said on the breach. Rashid accepted the sanction proposed by Richie Richardson, the match referee, and no formal hearing was needed.
