Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has been fined 20pc of his match-fee for breaching the International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct during the One-day International (ODI) tri-series match against England on Sunday.
According to an ICC media released issued on Wednesday, Haris was found to be in breach of Level 1 of the code for appealing for a wide from the n0n-striker’s end in the 46th over and argued with England all-rounder Will Jacks after it was denied.
The ICC said Haris ignored the warning given from on-field umpire Sharfuddoula and continued arguing, and also raised his bat in frustration.
The right-armer, whose stand of seven off 19 balls played a crucial role in Pakistan’s one-wicket victory in the match along with Shadab Khan’s century effort, also received a demerit point as part of his penalty, which he incurred after breaching Article 2.20 of the Code of Conduct, that pertains to “displaying conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game”.
This was his third offence in a 24-month period, taking his overall tally of demerit points to five.
Haris accepted his offence, as well as the sanctions proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, and hence there was no formal hearing, the ICC release read.
England, meanwhile, were penalised 15pc of their match-fee for a slow over rate, after being found three overs short at the allocated time. Captain Harry Brook accepted the offence and the sanction as well, the ICC said.
