Rashid Khan gets ICC scolding for hurling bat at T20 World Cup

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday for showing dissent towards a teammate during his side's Twenty20 World Cup Group 1 win over Bangladesh.

The incident occurred during the final over, with the 25-year-old showing his frustration towards fellow allrounder Karim Janat for declining a second run by throwing his bat.
