South Africa wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock has been fined for barging Tamim Iqbal during the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh.
The pair clashed just before the lunch break on Wednesday after De Kock confronted the Bangladesh opener.
And match referee Chris Broad has laid the blame for the altercation squarely on the South African, who must hand over 75 per cent of his match fee.
Broad's statement read: "As the over before lunch came to an end, Quinton de Kock walked in front of the stumps to confront Tamim Iqbal.
"In doing so De Kock deliberately brushed Tamim Iqbal's shoulder and rib area. This resulted in a heated exchange between the two, initiated by the contact made by De Kock.
"This type of incident has no place on a cricket field."
