Pakistan’s Rauf sanctioned for conduct contrary to ‘spirit’ of cricket
One demerit point added to the Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf’s disciplinary record for conduct during ODI against England.
Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has been reprimanded and fined 20 percent of his match fee for “displaying conduct contrary to the spirit of the game” against England, while the visitors were fined for a slow over-rate, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.
Rauf breached Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during Sunday’s One-Day International (ODI) tri-series match against England, which Pakistan unexpectedly won by one wicket thanks to batting heroics by Shadab Khan.
He hit the winning run at the end of an 89-run partnership with Shadab to propel Pakistan into the series final, after the home side were reduced to 154-9 in pursuit of England’s 242.
One demerit point was also added to his disciplinary record, bringing the total to five, since this was his third offence within 24 months.
