The Bangladesh Cricket Board disciplinary committee have fined Mohammad Ashraful 25 per cent of his monthly fee for slapping a spectator.

The 23-year-old Bangladesh captain hit a spectator during a practice session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium before the start of the one-day series against Ireland last week.

Reports have suggested the spectator involved in the incident was booing Ashraful for his poor showing in the series against South Africa.

Ashraful had already apologised for his behaviour, but the BCB decided to forward the case to the disciplinary committee since it constituted a breach of the code of conduct.

Bangladesh vice-captain Mashrafe Mortaza, left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak and left-arm paceman Syed Rasel have also been fined 20% of their monthly fees for their unauthorised absence before the series against Ireland.
