ICC Fines Fakhar Zaman, Adds Demerit Point for Dissent in Tri-Series Final

The opener admitted a Level 1 breach under Article 2.8 and accepted match referee Reon King’s sanction, so the case concluded without a hearing.

Overview

  • The ICC confirmed a 10% match-fee deduction and one demerit point after reviewing the 29 November incident in Rawalpindi.
  • The dissent arose from a prolonged exchange with on-field umpires over a decision in the 19th over of the final.
  • On-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Asif Yaqoob, with third umpire Rashid Riaz and fourth umpire Faisal Afridi, reported the offence.
  • Level 1 offences under Article 2.8 can bring up to a 50% fine and one or two demerit points, and Zaman received the minimum financial penalty.
  • It is his first demerit point in 24 months with no immediate suspension risk, and Pakistan won the final by six wickets.
