During the third Twenty20 International between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on Saturday, batsman Towhid Hridoy was fined fifteen percent of his match money for violating the ICC Code of Conduct.
Bangladesh lost the series 2-1 after losing the third game by a score of 28 runs. Indicating that they haven’t moved past the World Cup episode where Shakib Al Hasan gave Angelo Mathews a timed-out dismissal, Sri Lanka celebrated their win with a timed-out gesture. The incident worsened the two teams’ relationship even more.
However, the series-deciding third game between the two sides was eventful, with the players engaging in verbal spats several times. Hridoy’s incident occurred in the fourth over of Bangladesh’s innings, when after being dismissed, Hridoy turned around on his way back to the pavilion and remonstrated aggressively and inappropriately with the Sri Lankan players.
