Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has received an official reprimand for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his side's Asia Cup victory over Pakistan in Mirpur on Wednesday.
The incident happened in the 18th over of Bangladesh's innings when Shakib hit the stumps with his bat in frustration after he was bowled by Mohammad Amir for eight. He immediately apologised to the umpires for his actions.
The offence was deemed as a Level 1 breach, relating to "abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match".
Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe so there was no need for a formal hearing.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee.
Bangladesh won the match by five wickets to book a clash with India in Sunday's final.
