Pakistan fast bowler Rauf fined for breaching ICC code of conduct

Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf was penalized 20% of his match fee and given an official reprimand on Wednesday for violating the ICC code of conduct during Pakistan’s thrilling one-wicket victory over England in the ODI cricket tri-series. The International Cricket Council disclosed in a statement that Rauf contravened Article 2.2 of the code, which prohibits behavior inconsistent with the spirit of the game.

During Pakistan’s run chase, Rauf was seen arguing with England all-rounder Will Jacks at the non-striker’s end and even raised his bat while continuing the altercation, despite warnings from the umpire. For his third infraction within a 24-month span, Rauf's disciplinary record was marked with an additional demerit point, bringing his total to five. This is the third offense Rauf has committed within a 24-month period.
