Fortune Barishal wicketkeeper Nurul Hassan Sohan was fined 20 percent of his match fees for a Level 1 breach of the BCB Code of Conduct (Coc).

The player was penalised for showing dissent at an umpiring decision during his side's Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match against Sylhet Sunrisers at the Sylhet Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Barishal won that match by 12 runs but Sohan scored just 2.

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Sohan. The player admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee A.S.M. Roquibul Hassan and as such there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Mozahiduzzaman Swapan, third umpire Masudur Rahman Mukul and fourth official Ali Arman Rajon levelled the charge.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points.
