Bangladesh pace bowler Nahid Rana has been given a formal reprimand by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the first One Day International (ODI) between Bangladesh and Australia at Dhaka. The event happened during Australia's innings on Tuesday which led to Nahid Rana receiving one demerit point which would add to his disciplinary record, that becomes his second offence within 24 months, so now he has two demerit points in total. ICC said in a statement that Rana breached Article 2.5 of the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which says, "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." This happened in the 11th over of Australia's innings when wicket keeper-batter Josh Inglis got out after a full-length ball delivered by Rana, but on seeing Inglis out, the pacer charged down aggressively and used words that could have brought a physical confrontation with the Australian batter.

Rana Accepts ICC Sanction After getting the charge, the Bangladesh pacer accepted the offence and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee Prakash Bhatt of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so it was decided there was no need for an hearing. The match officials, including on-field umpires Alex Wharf and Gazi Sohel, third umpire Ahsan Raza and fourth umpire Morshed Ali Khan brought the charge, whereas Rana accepted his fate in return without protest. The fast bowler now has an additional demerit point on his disciplinary record, apart from the official reprimand, at Level 1, players can face a range of penalties from an official reprimand up to a 50% fine, as well as one or two demerit points. The decision to hand Rana a sanction highlights the strict rules that governs the behavior of players on the pitch, and despite of being competitive with their celebrations after taking wickets, they are expected to refrain from provoking the opponents and bringing the game into disrepute. The pacer still remains a key figure in Bangladesh's attack, but this event will be a reminder for the fast bowler in the future as further infractions might see him penalized heavily as per the ICC demerit points system.
