There have been monetary penalties too – Pakistan have been fined 30% of their match charge whereas Bangladesh have been penalised 15%.
Pakistan and Bangladesh have misplaced essential World Test Championship points due to sustaining gradual over-rates within the just lately concluded first Test at Rawalpindi, giving each groups a serious setback within the race to attain the ultimate.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) stated match referee Ranjan Madugalle imposed the sanctions after seeing that Pakistan have been six overs wanting the goal after time allowances have been considered and misplaced six WTC points.
On the opposite hand, after securing a ten-wicket win, Bangladesh have been docked three WTC points after being discovered three overs wanting the suitable fee. Due to the sanctions, Bangladesh have now dropped to seventh place and can drop behind South Africa within the standings, whereas Pakistan stay within the eighth spot.
There have been monetary penalties too – Pakistan have been fined 30% of their match charge whereas Bangladesh have been penalised 15%.
“In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.”
“In addition, as per Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short,” stated the ICC.
Both captains Shan Masood and Najmul Hossain Shanto pleaded responsible to the offences and accepted the proposed sanctions, so there was no want for formal hearings. Bangladesh have a 1-0 lead within the two-match sequence and can face Pakistan within the second Test at Rawalpindi on Friday.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been fined 10 per cent of his match charge for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct in the identical sport.

The incident occurred within the thirty third over of Pakistan’s second innings on Sunday, when Shakib threw the ball in the direction of the batter in an inappropriate method, the ball going over Mohammad Rizwan’s head to the wicketkeeper.
“Shakib was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ‘throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match’,” stated the ICC.
Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Madugalle, so there was no want for a proper listening to. On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Adrian Holdstock, third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire Rashid Riaz levelled the costs.
