The Level 1 breach means Ahmed will also have one demerit point added to his disciplinary record — it’s his first offence in a 24-month period.
SA vs BAN: “The incident occurred in the 95th over of South Africa’s first innings on the second day when Kyle Verreynne hit the ball back towards Ahmed,” the ICC statement read.
“The bowler then threw it towards Verreynne in an inappropriate and dangerous manner, hitting him on the right glove.”
On-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Allahudien Paleker, third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth official Bongani Jele levelled the charges. Ahmed admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Andy Pycroft.
Bangladesh lost the second and final Test by 332 runs, and the series 0-2, to South Africa after being bundled out for 80 in their second innings on the penultimate day.
