Nasir earns one demerit point for delaying toss

Sylhet Sixers captain Nasir Hossain’s six-minute delay to the toss against Dhaka Dynamites on Saturday in the opening game of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) earned him a one demerit point.

Pursuant to Article 7.5 of the Code, if an offending person reaches four or more demerit points in the tournament, the points will then be converted into suspension points. Four demerit points equate to a ban of one match.

Alongside him, the BCB also warned Sixers manager Hasibul Hossain  for breaching Level 1 of the BCB Code of Conduct. According to a press release sent by BCB yesterday, both Nasir and Hasibul were found to have breached  Article 2.1.1 of the BCB Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ‘conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.’

Nasir and Hasibul were charged by on-field umpires Masudur Rahman Mukul and Riaz Uddin, third umpire Tanvir Ahmed and fourth umpire Aktaruzzaman for delaying the toss by six minutes and for the failure to submit the team sheet properly.

After the match, Nasir and Hasibul admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee Debabrata Paul and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing. In addition to the sanction imposed for the breach of Article 2.1.1, one demerit point has been added to their disciplinary record.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official warning and a maximum penalty of a fine of 30 percent of the match fee and one or two demerit points.
