The entire Bangladesh squad has been fined 10 per cent of its match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the second men’s ODI on Monday, the ICC stated in a media release.
ICC match referee Andy Pycroft imposed the sanction after Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s side was ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
“In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time,” the release further stated.
Mehidy pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Richard Illingworth and Gazi Sohel, third umpire Nitin Menon and fourth umpire Masudur Rahman Mukul levelled the charge.
Bangladesh won the second match by six wickets after the Kiwis clinched the series opener by 26 runs.

#Bangladesh #retains #squad #Zealand #ODIs">Bangladesh retains squad for first two New Zealand ODIs
Bangladesh named an unchanged squad on Saturday for the first two matches of the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, the first announcement by a newly formed selection panel.
The four-member panel, led by Habibul Bashar Sumon, opted to stick with the same group that featured in the ODI series against Pakistan last month, citing continuity and overall team performance.
Bangladesh beat Pakistan 2-1 in the home ODI series.
“Our policy is to give adequate opportunities to anyone who comes into the team. We believe in continuity, which is why we did not change the team for this series,” Habibul, who took over last month, told reporters.
The selectors also backed out-of-form opener Saif Hassan, who managed just 52 runs in three matches in the Pakistan series.
“We want to give him more opportunities before making a decision. We do not want to go into a chop-and-change approach,” he said.
