Hridoy gets 2-match ban for 'unacceptable' behaviour

Bangladesh Cricket Board director Iftekharul Ahmed Mithu termed Mohammedan captain Towhid Hridoy's behaviour as unacceptable after the cricketer was sanctioned for a Level 2 offence following continuation of his grievances against umpiring decisions during Saturday's DPL match against Abahani.
The match referee sanctioned the player with Tk 80,000 and added three demerit points to four already slapped, in effect handing him a two-match suspension which originally was of one match.
Talking with The Daily Star, Mithu said that Hridoy's overall behaviour was 'unacceptable' and that he didn't know where the cricketer got this attitude from.
Hridoy was slapped with four demerit points and a one-match suspension for his heated exchange with on-field umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat during the match.
"A notice has been sent to the player and if he accepts the sanctions, there would be no further hearing," a BCB umpires' committee official told The Daily Star. However, if Hridoy does not accept the verdict, a further hearing will take place on Monday.
Following his public grievances to the media regarding umpiring after the match, three more demerit points were added, making it seven demerit points in total.
It was learnt that Hridoy misbehaved during the hearing of the initial sentence and the match officials found him to be in breach of section 2.7 and 2.8 of BCB's Code of Conduct.
