Tanzim Hasan
has been penalized by the ICC for violating Level 1 of their Code of Conduct during the
T20 World Cup
2024 Group D match against Nepal at the Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent and the Grenadines. The incident occurred on Sunday, and the ICC has officially announced the sanction.
According to the ICC statement, Tanzim breached Article 2.12 of the
ICC Code of Conduct
for Players and Player Support Personnel, which states: "inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match."
The incident happened at the conclusion of the third over of Nepal's innings when Tanzim approached Nepal batter Rohit Paudel aggressively and made inappropriate physical contact after delivering a ball.
As a result of the violation, Tanzim has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee and received one demerit point on his disciplinary record. This was his first offence in the past 24 months.
Tanzim acknowledged the offence and accepted the penalty suggested by Richie Richardson, a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, eliminating the need for a formal hearing. The charge was brought forth by on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Sam Nogajski, third umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal, and fourth umpire
Kumar Dharmasena
.
Level 1 breaches carry a range of penalties, from an official reprimand to a maximum of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, along with one or two demerit points.
