It will be costly for Pakistan cricketer Shaheen Afridi to give a strong reaction. ICC has fined him for hitting a Bangladeshi player in the current match. Shahi has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct.
Significantly, after Shaheen's ball, Bangladeshi players were seen hitting the pitch. However, Shaheen also apologized after the match. Shaheen Afridi has violated Article 2.9 of the ICC.
If any player, mate of the opposing team, support staff, umpire or any other person knowingly tries to hurt the ball, action will be taken against him under section. Level-1 penalties can be deducted from a player's match fee up to a maximum of 50% after studying the violation and reaction and also awarded 1-2 demerit points. In addition, one demerit point has been added to Afridi's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offense in a 24-month period.
