In Sunday’s one-run ODI victory against England in the tri-series, Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf was fined for violating the ICC Code of Conduct. Rauf has been officially reprimanded for his behaviour and fined 20% of his match money, according to the ICC.
Rauf, positioned at the non-striker’s end, argued with England all-rounder Will Jacks after calling for a wide in the 46th over of Pakistan’s frantic run chase. He persisted in his argument, lifting his bat as he did so, and then he brushed past the umpire, who gave him a warning.
At the conclusion of Pakistan’s innings’ 46th over, the incident took place. Rauf, who was positioned at the non-striker’s end, called for a wide and then got into a furious altercation with England all-rounder Will Jacks. On-field umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid intervened with a warning, but Rauf continued the exchange by raising his bat.
The formal charge was based on the fact that he walked past the umpire and toward Jacks. On-field umpires Rashid Riaz and Sharfuddoula, third umpire Wayne Knights, and fourth umpire Nassir Hussain made the accusations. There was no need for a formal hearing since Rauf agreed to the penalty that match referee Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees had suggested.
After a thrilling ODI that Pakistan won by one wicket, the disciplinary proceedings took place. With 17 balls left, Shadab Khan led Pakistan to their target with an undefeated century and an uninterrupted 89-run stand with Rauf for the tenth wicket. The hosts pulled off an incredible chase that seemed unattainable for much of the final stages, as England’s bowlers couldn’t separate the pair. Pakistan’s victory guaranteed them a spot in the ODI tri-series final, where they will play Sri Lanka on October 31, 2026.
