Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has personally apologised to Bangladesh batter Afif Hussain after hitting him with a throw during the second T20I between the two teams in Dhaka.

He has also been fined 15 per cent of match fees for his actions on Saturday.

Shaheen lost his cool after Hussain hit him for a six. The fast bowler later picked up the ball in his follow through and hurled it at the stumps though Hussain was in his crease. The ball hit the batter and a doctor was rushed on to the field to ensure he was okay.

The Pakistan Cricket Board released a video of Shaheen walking up to Hussain after the match and apologising to him for the action and also hugging him with a smile.

It was Level 1 breach as per the ICC Code of Conduct.

One demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Shaheen, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

“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,” said the ICC in a statement.
