Afghanistan batter Ibrahim Zadran has been fined 15% of his match fee and one demerit point for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct in the third ODI against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi on October 14. The act occurred during the 37th over of Afghanistan's innings when Zadran, while being bowled out on 95 off 111 deliveries, hit some equipment close to the dressing room with his bat in frustration. This was his second dismissal in a row in the 90s, as he was also bowled out on 95 in the second ODI. The batter was deemed guilty of breaching Article 2.2 of the Players and Player Support Personnel Code of Conduct by the ICC. This article pertains to "abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match."

Therefore, no official hearing was necessary. The charge was brought against him by on-field umpires Adrian Holdstock and Ahmad Durrani, third umpire Akbar Ali, and fourth umpire Izatullah Safi. In Level 1 offences, the lowest possible punishment is an official reprimand while the highest can be a 50% fine on the match fee and one or two demerit points. This was Ibrahim Zadran's initial offense in the span of 24 months. The ICC also added that if any player gets four or more demerit points in a span of two years, they are transferred to suspension points. Two suspension points lead to a ban for one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whichever is earlier for the player.

His solidity at the crease saw Afghanistan walk over the opponents in the series. Zadran's out for 95 in the last one-day match reflected both his desire to score runs and anger at failing to score a century for the second consecutive game. According to ICC rules, demerit points stay on a player's disciplinary record for 24 months before they are wiped out.
