The International Cricket Council has concluded its set of hearings against the Indian and Pakistani players and has fined Suryakumar Yadav for his statements and Haris Rauf for his unkind gestures, while they have spared batter Sahibzada Farhan with a formal warning.
The ICC concluded its disciplinary hearing against the Indian and Pakistani cricketers on Friday afternoon. Match referee Richie Richardson was known to have overseen the proceedings.
Pakistan players Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan were marked, making some unwanted gestures that seemed to mock the Indian fans. While Rauf gestured for a plane crash with his hand, Farhan found himself amid the controversy after having made a rocket launcher with his bat as a part of his half-century celebration.
Your daily dose of cricket!
BCCI files an appeal against the financial penalties issued to Suryakumar Yadav
The ICC, after investigating the complaints on the Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav, found him guilty of causing some depletion to the spirit of the game. As a result of this, Suryakumar has been fined 30 percent of his match fees.
The BCCI has, in turn, filed an appeal over the financial penalties imposed on the Indian skipper by the ICC. Even the Indian Revsportz reporter, Rohit Juglan, has made a similar claim. The BCCI feels that the statement made by Suryakumar has no political implications.
The statements were meant to respect the people who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attacks and to honour their sacrifices. The Indian skipper had no intention to irk any side with his remarks, especially since they meant nothing politically.
BCCI should appeal (for that fine)
I am hearing they did one— Rohit Juglan (@rohitjuglan) September 26, 2025
