Mashrafe fined, Gunathilaka receives official reprimand

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has been fined 20pc of his match fee while Sri Lanka opener Danushka Gunathilaka has been officially reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the tri-series final in Mirpur on Saturday.

Both players breached Article 2.1.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”

As a result, one demerit point has been added to each player's disciplinary records. Both players admitted their offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee David Boon.
