Tanbir Hayder escaped a ban for using obscene language during Bangladesh's second ODI loss to the Black Caps.

Bangladesh bowler Tanbir Hayder's frustration got the better of him on Thursday and earned him a reprimand from the International Cricket Council.

His last ball in the 19th over of the one-day international at Saxton Oval in Nelson was a shortish delivery which Black Caps batsman Neil Broom wasted no time in sending to the leg-side boundary for four, prompting the legspinner to express his frustrations in the form of a four-letter word that was clearly audible on the radio commentary.​

The word did not appear to be directed at anybody in particular, but Hayder was found to have breached the ICC's code of conduct, for having used "language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match".

He admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad, so there was no need for a formal hearing. As well as being given a reprimand, Hayder received one demerit point.

The demerit point system was introduced in September in an attempt to deter repeat offenders. If a player receives four demerit points within a two-year period, they are converted into two suspension points, which results in a ban from one test match or two one-day or Twenty20 internationals, depending on the player's upcoming schedule.

The ICC takes a strong stance on player behaviour in international matches, and this is not the first time Bangladesh players have run afoul of it in recent months.

Hayder's teammate Sabbir Rahman was fined 30 percent of his match fee and given two demerit points after questioning an umpire's LBW decision and making inappropriate comments towards him during an ODI against Afghanistan in September.

Then in October, Rahman and his captain Mashrafe Mortaza were fined 20 per cent of their match fees and given a demerit point for "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match" following a clash with England's Jos Buttler during an ODI.

Buttler pled guilty to the same charge as Hayder and received a reprimand and a demerit point following the clash with the Bangladesh players, who were overeager in celebrating his dismissal.

England's Ben Stokes also accepted the same charge during his side's recent test series against India, and received the same punishment as Hayder, while West Indian batsman Marlon Samuels was fined 30 per cent of his match fee during the World Twenty20 final against England in April for the same breach.

This was also not the first time a visiting player has been pinged by the ICC in New Zealand this year.

​Australian quick bowler Josh Hazlewood was fined 15 per cent of his match fee after his remark, "Who the f… is the third umpire?" was picked up by the stump microphone during the second test between the two countries in Christchurch in February.

Hazlewood had been reacting to third umpire Richard Illingworth's decision to give Kane Williamson not out, after an unsuccessful LBW appeal was reviewed using the decision review system.

He was charged with "showing dissent at an international umpire's decision during an international match".

A crackdown on player behaviour was also reported to have been called for prior to last year's World Cup.

Hayder was making his international debut for Bangladesh in Thursday's match, which the Black Caps won by 67 runs. He bowled eight overs and conceded 47 runs without taking a wicket.

The third and final ODI in the series is on Saturday in Nelson.
