Both the Bangladesh players were found to have breached Article 2.1.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match".

Buttler was guilty of violating Article 2.1.4, which deals with "using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match".

Nasser Hussain has lauded Jos Buttler's commitment to the team

Srinath said: "The Bangladesh players overstepped in their celebration of Jos Buttler's wicket, which prompted an inappropriate reaction from the dismissed batsman and required the on-field umpires' intervention.

"We all want to see high intensity on the field of play, but only as long as it is not provoking or antagonising or disrespecting the opponent."
