Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott and all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai were fined for two separate incidents during the second T20I against Bangladesh. Both Trott and Omarzai were docked 15 per cent of their match fees for a Level 1 Code of Conduct breach during the second T20I against Bangladesh. "Trott was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match,” International Cricket Council (ICC) said in an official statement.
The incident occurred during the rain disruption, while the on-field umpires were conducting an inspection. Trott showed obvious displeasure towards the umpires' decision when he was told that there would be a further delay instead of play being resumed.
Omarzai was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”
The incident occurred in the 15th over of Afghanistan's innings when, after dismissing Bangladesh batter Towhid Hridoy, Omarzai moved towards the outgoing batter, showing him an inappropriate “send-off” in close proximity.
One demerit point has been added to both Trott and Omarzai's disciplinary records, who are both on their first offence in a 24-month period.
The pair admitted to their respective offences and accepted the sanction proposed by Neeyamur Rashid of the Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat and Tanvir Ahmed, third umpire Masudur Rahman and fourth official Gazi Sohel levelled the charges.
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.
