Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf has been slapped with a fine and demerit points following a heated confrontation during Pakistan’s dramatic one-wicket victory over England in Sunday’s ODI tri-series match, the International Cricket Council announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old pacer will lose 20% of his match fee and received one demerit point after being found guilty of violating the ICC Code of Conduct’s provisions against conduct contrary to the spirit of the game. The sanction brings Rauf’s total demerit points to five within a 24-month period\u2014a concerning accumulation that puts him at risk of more severe penalties if further incidents occur.<\/p>\n

The flashpoint erupted at the conclusion of the 46th over during Pakistan’s innings. Standing at the non-striker’s end, Rauf appealed for a wide delivery before becoming embroiled in a verbal exchange with England all-rounder Will Jacks. Witnesses reported that Rauf raised his bat during the heated moment and continued arguing despite receiving a direct warning from umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid. The situation escalated when Rauf brushed past the official while advancing toward Jacks.<\/p>\n

Match officials\u2014including on-field umpires Rashid Riaz and Sharfuddoula, third umpire Wayne Knights, and fourth umpire Nassir Hussain\u2014formally lodged the charges. Match referee Jeff Crowe from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel handled the case, though no formal hearing proved necessary after Rauf accepted the proposed sanctions.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred during what turned into a thriller at the venue. Pakistan chased down the target thanks to an extraordinary unbeaten century from Shadab Khan, who partnered with Rauf himself for an unbroken 89-run stand for the final wicket. The duo guided Pakistan home with 17 balls to spare, securing their spot in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka scheduled for October 31.<\/p>\n

England also faced financial penalties from the same match, forfeiting 15% of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate. The visitors fell three overs short of the required rate even after time allowances were factored in. Under ICC regulations, teams lose 5% of match fees for each over they fail to complete within the stipulated timeframe. England captain Harry Brook accepted the sanctions without contest.<\/p>\n

For Rauf, the disciplinary action serves as a warning. Under ICC rules, accumulating demerit points can trigger suspensions, with players facing bans after reaching certain thresholds. The fiery pacer will need to maintain composure in upcoming matches to avoid jeopardizing his availability for crucial fixtures ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
