Shakib fined, earns demerit point Shakib and the Windies skipper during the coin-tossing of first T20I

Bangladesh Test & T20 captain Shakib Al Hasan has been fined 15% of his match fees for showing dissent in the first T20I against West Indies in Sylhet on Monday (Dec 17). 

One demerit point was also added to the disciplinary record of Shakib, for whom it was the second offence since the introduction of demerit system in September 2016. 

He now has two demerit points after receiving one during a T20I against Sri Lanka in March earlier this year.

Shakib was fined for breaching Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel that relates to "showing dissent at an umpire's decision". 

The incident happened in the 14th over of the Bangladesh innings when Shakib, who was on strike, showed dissent at the umpire's decision of not calling a delivery a wide, by first shouting at the umpire and then getting involved in a discussion. 

Shakib admitted the offence and the sanction after the match and there was no need for a formal hearing.

West Indies won the first T20 International of the three-match series over Bangladesh by 8 wickets.
