Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi fined 15 percent of match fee for Code Of Conduct Breach

Dubai: Afghanistan fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi has been fined 15 percent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct, said ICC in a statement on Friday.

The violation falls under Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during an international match.”

The incident occurred in the fifth over of Zimbabwe’s innings, when the left-arm pacer showed dissent when an lbw appeal against Craig Ervine was turned down. Farooqi made the sign to request a review when DRS was not available in the match.

In addition, one demerit point has been added to Fazalhaq’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

“Fazalhaq admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee Andy Pycroft and levelled by on-field umpires Chris Brown and Percival Sizara, third umpire Langton Rusere and fourth umpire Iknow Chabi,” the ICC statement read. IANS
