ICC takes action against Rauf and Farhan for on-field conduct

The two Pakistan players, who were investigated for a code of conduct violation during the September 21 India-Pakistan match in Dubai, have been reprimanded by the ICC match referee. At the hearing, conducted by Andy Pycroft, both were found guilty of a Level 1 offence under the ICC Code of Conduct.

Cricbuzz understands that pacer Haris Rauf has been fined for his on-field act of mimicking a crashing plane. He was also strongly reprimanded for bringing the game into disrepute. The exact quantum of the fine is not known, but a portion of Rauf's match fee has been deducted.

Sahibzada Farhan, the Pakistan opener, was likewise found guilty of a Level 1 offence and has been issued a reprimand by the ICC official. Farhan wielded his bat like a gun to celebrate his half-century. Farhan had scored 58 off 45 balls in Pakistan's six-wicket defeat against India in that Super Four clash.
