The International Cricket Council (ICC) has reprimanded Pakistan batter Salman Agha for his reaction to a controversial run-out in the second One-Day International against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Friday. ADVERTISEMENTHowever, Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz circled around behind Agha to collect the ball and threw down the stumps, sparking a debate about the “sportsman spirit”. An incensed Agha threw down his gloves and helmet following the dismissal, a reaction which earned him a demerit point from the game's global governing body. The ICC said in a statement Agha had breached a Code of Conduct article relating to the abuse of equipment or clothing during an international match. Mehidy said after the match he had been expecting Agha to attempt a run.
