Bangladesh won the first national trophy in their history on Sunday (February 9) when they beat India by three wickets at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom in South Africa.

A mass of players came together during the celebrations immediately after the match, with pushing and shoving between both sides.

Reports have also claimed that a Bangladesh flag was damaged during the "brawl". 

Three Bangladesh players, Md Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain and Rakibul Hasan, have now been sanctioned, alongside India's Akash Singh and Ravi Bishnoi.

They have all been found guilty of breaching article 2.21 of the code, covering conduct that brings the game into disrepute.

Spin bowler Bishnoi, the tournament's leading wicket-taker, was also found to have breached article 2.5 regarding "language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal".

This follows his response after Avishek Das was removed in the 23rd over.

He has received a total of five suspension points, equating to seven demerit points.

The ICC keeps demerit points on a player's record for two years, which can be tallied up and lead to a ban.

One suspension point also equals a player being ineligible for an international fixture.

All five players breached level three of the code of conduct, for the second most serious offences.

This carries a minimum penalty of four suspension points, up to a maximum of 12.

Bangladesh's Hridoy was handed the highest punishment of 10 suspension points, equating to six demerit points.

Team-mate Hossain received eight suspension points, equating to six demerit points, while Hasan was given four suspension points, equating to five demerit points.

Singh received eight suspension points, equating to six demerit points.

The final was an ill-tempered affair with numerous verbal exchanges between players.

India were bowled out for just 177 and Bangladesh chased down an adjusted target of 170, calculated using the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method which is used after rain delays.

All of the charges against the players were brought by on-field umpires Sam Nogajski and Adrian Holdstock, third umpire Ravindra Wimalasiri and fourth umpire Patrick Bongni Jele.

"The match was hard-fought, as you would expect in an ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup final, but the elation and disappointment experienced by some players after the game spilled over into unedifying scenes that have no place in our sport," said Geoff Allardice, the ICC general manager.

"Respect is at the very heart of the spirit of cricket, and players are expected to show self-discipline, congratulate the opposition on their successes and enjoy the success of their own team. 

"It is disappointing that code of conduct charges needed to be laid after such a closely contested match, but it is important to reinforce the standard of behaviour that will be expected of these young players should they transition to senior international cricket."
