Tanzim Hasan Sakib has been penalized by match referee Ehsanul Hoque for violating the Level 2 code of conduct during a BPL match between Sylhet Strikers and Khulna Tigers on Sunday.
The pacer was fined 50% of his match fee and handed three demerit points for the offence.
Confirming the decision, match referee Ehsanul Hoque said, “We are charging him with 3 demerit points and 50% match fee.”
The incident occurred during the 19th over of the match when Tanzim bowled a deceptive slower delivery, dismissing Mohammad Nawaz. Following the dismissal, Tanzim confronted Nawaz with a shoulder-barge and exchanged heated words, escalating tensions on the field.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Sylhet Strikers captain Ariful Haq downplayed the incident, attributing it to the natural aggression of a fast bowler.
“Such things happen in the heat of the game,” Ariful said.
