The International Cricket Council (ICC) has imposed fines on three Pakistan cricketers following separate incidents during their tri-nation series victory against South Africa in Karachi. Shaheen's penalty Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi received the most severe punishment, losing 25 per cent of his match fee for breaching Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct. The violation occurred in the 28th over when Afridi deliberately impeded South African batter Matthew Breetzke's running path, leading to physical contact and a subsequent confrontation. Additional sanctions In a separate incident, Saud Shakeel and substitute fielder Kamran Ghulam each faced 10 percent match fee deductions. Their penalties stemmed from excessive celebration in close proximity to South African captain Temba Bavuma following his run-out in the 29th over. Code violations The ICC found Shakeel and Ghulam in breach of Article 2.5, which prohibits actions or gestures that could provoke aggressive reactions from dismissed batters during international matches. Disciplinary impact All three players received one demerit point each on their disciplinary records. The ICC noted that none had previous offences within the past 24 months. The players accepted their sanctions, eliminating the need for formal hearings. Tournament context The incidents occurred during Pakistan's crucial victory over South Africa, which secured their place in the tri-series final. They are scheduled to face New Zealand on February 14.Original Article
