Meanwhile, Afif Hossain during this time was in the crease and he turned his back towards the ball but it hit him on the back of his foot and he fell on the ground. Afridi was seen offering the apology to Afif and the physio soon ran down to check on the batsman.

“Afridi admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Neeyamur Rashid of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees and ratified by the ICC Cricket Operations department as per the COVID-19 interim playing regulations. There was no need for a formal hearing,” said the ICC in a statement.
