In a recent match between Bangladesh and Nepal at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, seamer Tanzim Hasan Sakib has landed himself in some trouble. He has been fined 15 percent of his match fee for violating the code of conduct. This is a serious offense and has resulted in one demerit point being added to Tanzim's disciplinary record. It is worth noting that this is his first offense in the last 24 months.
The specific code of conduct that Tanzim has been found guilty of breaching is Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. This article deals with any inappropriate physical contact made with a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee, or any other person during an international match. In this case, Tanzim's behavior towards Nepal's captain, Rohit Paudel, was deemed to be aggressive and inappropriate.
The incident in question occurred at the end of the third over of Nepal's innings. After bowling a delivery, Tanzim walked towards Rohit in a confrontational manner and made physical contact with him. This behavior did not go unnoticed by the on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Sam Nogajski, as well as third umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal and fourth umpire Kumar Dharmasena. They collectively charged Tanzim with the offense.
Tanzim, however, took responsibility for his actions and accepted the proposed sanction by Richie Richardson, a member of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. As a result, there was no need for a formal hearing. It is important for players to understand the gravity of their actions and uphold the spirit of the game. Hopefully, this incident will serve as a lesson for Tanzim and other players to behave in a more respectful and sportsmanlike manner on the field.
