Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam has been fined 25 percent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Dhaka.
Taijul was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to throwing a ball at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an international match.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Taijul’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offense in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred in the 69th over of Sri Lanka’s innings on Wednesday, when Taijul, after fielding the ball on his follow-through, threw it in the direction of Angelo Mathews, hitting him, when the batter was within the popping crease and not intending to take a run.
