Posted on 29th Jul 2023 by rohit kumar

Expressing displeasure against the umpire's decision in Bangladesh has cost Harmanpreet Kaur dearly. The Indian women's cricket team has been banned for two matches. Apart from this, now BCCI will also talk to him about his aggressive behavior. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Roger Binny and National Cricket Academy Chief VVS Laxman have got this responsibility. Both will talk to Harmanpreet in detail about this. Board's secretary Jai Shah gave information about this on Thursday.

 

Harmanpreet has been banned for two matches by the ICC. The BCCI has the opportunity to appeal against the punishment, but the board has decided not to appeal. Harmanpreet not only broke the stumps after getting out in that tied match but also lashed out at the umpires.

 

 

Harmanpreet accepted the mistake

The ICC found Harmanpreet guilty in two separate cases and was banned for two matches. He was suspended for the next two international matches after two separate breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct. The ICC in its release said that Harmanpreet had admitted the offence. The ICC had said, "The Indian captain admitted the offense and agreed to the sanctions proposed by Akhtar Ahmed of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees. As a result, there was no need for a formal hearing and the penalty was applied immediately."

 

What is the whole matter?

In the one-day match against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Saturday (July 22), the Indian team lost three wickets for 139 runs while chasing the target. Yastika Bhatia was dismissed for five and Shefali Verma scored four runs. Smriti Mandhana scored 59 runs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur came to the crease to support Harleen Deol after Mandhana's dismissal, but she could not bat for long. Harmanpreet got out LBW on the ball of Nahida Akhtar after scoring 14 runs.

 

Harmanpreet tried to sweep the fourth ball of Nahida in the 34th over. She missed the shot. When the bowler and fellow players appealed for an out, the umpire gave the decision against Harmanpreet. She got angry after being given out. He angrily hit the bat on the stump and on his way to the pavilion signaled to the umpire that the ball had hit the bat first. Apart from this, Harmanpreet also showed thumb to the audience.
