Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan, who led the team from the front and took them to the semifinals, is, however, penalized during this process. The last Super 8 game against Bangladesh, which Afghanistan won, was nothing short of a thriller, with lots of passing showers and more. Adding to the temperature was Rashid Khan’s frustration during the final over, which came against his batting partner Karim Janat.
Why was Rashid Khan reprimanded by the ICC?
After hitting a shot to the off-side, Rashid Khan attempted to take a second run in the 19th over due to a fumble by the Bangladesh fielders. However, his batting partner, Karim Janat, sent him back. As a result, Khan’s anger boiled over towards Janat, which he showed by throwing his bat. This resulted in him being punished by the ICC, as Rashid was found guilty of violating Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
What does ICC Article 2.9 say?
Article 2.9 specifically talks about throwing a ball or any cricket equipment in a dangerous manner, which is considered wrong in any international match.
