This special report focuses on the fallout from the fiery Asia Cup clashes between India and Pakistan, where the ICC announced sanctions against several players for breaching the Code of Conduct. The bulletin points out that Suryakumar Yadav was accused of making “politically motivated remarks” and disrespecting Pakistani players, which led to the fine. Pakistan’s Haris Rauf was given a two-match ban for provocative gestures during the tournament. Furthermore, India’s Jasprit Bumrah received a demerit point for his reactive gesture after Rauf’s dismissal. The ICC also issued an official warning to Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan for his controversial “arms celebration” after scoring a half-century against India during the Super 4 match in Dubai. The sanctions were announced following a hearing by the ICC’s Elite Panel of Match Referees following incidents in the matches on 14, 21 and 28 September.
