Haris Rauf fined 20% of match fee after England ODI in Lahore

Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has been reprimanded and fined 20 per cent of his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during Sunday's one-day international against England in Lahore. The ICC announced the sanction on Wednesday.

He was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which covers conduct contrary to the spirit of the game. Minute Mirror reported that it was a Level 1 offence.

According to The Express Tribune, the incident came at the end of the 46th over of Pakistan's innings. Haris, at the non-striker's end, appealed for a wide and then argued with England all-rounder Will Jacks.

The report said he raised his bat and continued the exchange despite a warning from umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, and then brushed past the umpire while walking towards Jacks.

The 32-year-old also received one demerit point, taking his total to five after his third offence within a 24-month period.

England were fined 15 per cent of their match fees after being three overs short of their target once time allowances were counted, The Express Tribune reported. Under Article 2.22, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for each over not bowled in time. A Pakistani Urdu outlet gave the England fine as 10 per cent, but the ICC-based account of three overs at five per cent each gives 15.

Haris and England captain Harry Brook admitted their offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe, so no formal hearings were needed. The charges were brought by on-field umpires Rashid Riaz and Sharfuddoula, third umpire Wayne Knights and fourth umpire Nassir Hussain.

Pakistan won the match by one wicket. Shadab Khan hit an unbeaten century and added an unbroken 89 runs for the 10th wicket with Haris, finishing with 17 balls remaining. The result put Pakistan into the tri-series final against Sri Lanka on October 31.
