\nPakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has been suspended for the next two ODIs against South Africa for breaching the ICC code of conduct during the Super Four game against India in the Asia Cup on September 21, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Tuesday.
\nThe ICC confirmed the disciplinary outcomes from the Asia Cup 2025 fixtures between India and Pakistan, with sanctions issued following hearings conducted by members of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.
\nAccording to the press release issued by the cricket governing body, Rauf received two demerit points and a 30% match fee fine for conduct that \u201cbrought the game into disrepute\u201d during the India\u2013Pakistan final on 28 September.
\nHe had earlier been fined and given two demerit points for the same offence in the 14 September group match. The latest ruling raised his total to four demerit points, triggering two suspension points under the ICC Code of Conduct and resulting in a two-match ban, the press release stated.
\nRauf will now miss Pakistan\u2019s ODI matches against South Africa scheduled for 4 and 6 November.
\nMeanwhile, Pakistan\u2019s Sahibzada Farhan received an official warning and one demerit point for the same breach.
\nThe controversy arose from an official complaint by the BCCI regarding the players\u2019 actions during the Asia Cup Super Fours match in Dubai in September.
\nThe incidents that caught attention on social media involved Farhan\u2019s celebration after his half-century and Rauf\u2019s gesture toward some fans while fielding, drawing discussion among cricket followers.
\nIn the 14 September match, India\u2019s Suryakumar Yadav was similarly found guilty of conduct bringing the game into disrepute and fined 30% of his match fee, along with two demerit points.
\nFor the 21 September encounter, Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh was cleared of an alleged charge under Article 2.6 regarding obscene or insulting gestures, and no sanction was imposed.
\nDuring the final on 28 September, India\u2019s Jasprit Bumrah accepted a charge under Article 2.21 and received an official warning along with one demerit point, avoiding a formal hearing.
\nThe ICC reiterated that all offences and sanctions were determined in accordance with the governing body\u2019s established disciplinary framework.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
