Lahore: Sui Northern Gas Pipelines’ batter Rizwan Mehmood has incurred a 50% match fee fine due to a breach of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) code of conduct. The incident occurred during the final of the President’s Cup One-Day tournament held at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad against the State Bank of Pakistan.
According to Pakistan Cricket Board, Mehmood was found to have violated Article 2.8 of the PCB’s code, which pertains to showing dissent at an umpire’s decision. This violation was identified after he was adjudged caught behind off the bowling of Sirajuddin in the 25th over of the innings. The charges were brought by on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Faisal Khan Aafreedi, and the fine was imposed by match referee Ali Naqvi, which Rizwan Mehmood accepted without contest.
