Haris Rauf was fined 30% of his match fee by the ICC for disrespectful gestures during the Super Four clash against India. In a recent update, the PCB has decided to appeal the ICC’s sanction. Earlier reports on Saturday suggested that PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi would personally pay the fine, but it now appears the PCB will formally challenge the ICC’s decision.
According to Revsportz, the Pakistan Cricket Board is set to appeal the punishment handed to Rauf. The sanction came after his conduct during the IND vs PAK Super Fours clash on September 21, where he engaged in a heated exchange with India’s openers, made provocative gestures to fans near the boundary, and was reported for using abusive language.
“PCB to appeal for Haris Rauf after the Pakistan pacer was sanctioned by the ICC following his actions in the game against India on September 21 in Dubai,” the report said.
