Kaur responded to the umpire’s decision to give her out by swinging her bat at the stumps – sending them flying.

She was furious as she walked off the field and continued to remonstrate with the officials.

After the game, she then said: “A lot of learning from this game.

“Some pathetic umpiring was done, and we are really disappointed about some decisions given by the umpires.”

Her shocking actions came before India and Bangladesh had drawn the match – the third ODI in a three-match series.

As a result, the series was drawn.

Kaur’s wrath then continued as she turned her ire on the Bangladeshi cricket team during the trophy ceremony.

When both teams got together for a photo, Kaur proceeded to tell the opposition players to get the officials to join them.

Kaur said: “Why are you only here? You haven’t tied the match.

“The umpires did it for you. Call them up! We better have photo with them as well. Bring the umpires too.”

As well as a two-match ban, Kaur has also been handed four demerit points and received a fine of 75 per cent of her match fee.

And she was slammed on social media for her actions, with one person saying: “Harmerpreet Kaur’s behavior was disgusting and stupid she should be punished for at least three to five matches.”

While another added: “@ICC should ban Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur for a lifetime.”
