According to the ICC Code of Conduct, time wasting is considered a Level 1 or 2 offence under Article 2.10.7. A Level 1 offence carries a penalty of 100 per cent of the match fee and two suspension points. If a player receives four suspension points in a year, he is banned from one Test or two ODIs or T20Is.
Apart from this, ICC has also made rules for T20 according to Article 41.9. If a bowler or fielder wastes time, the umpire can give a fine of five runs. The umpire has the right to take such a decision, but no such decision was taken in the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh match. That means no action will be taken against them.
