The International Cricket Council (ICC) has imposed a fine on Lahiru Kumara and Linton Das for misconduct during Sunday’s T20 World Cup encounter between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

ICC said both were fined for breaching level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

Kumara was found guilty of breaching Article 2.5 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 batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”

Das was found guilty of breaching Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “Conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game’.

The incident occurred in the fifth over after the dismissal of batter Litton Kumar Das in the Bangladesh innings.
