Overview

• Tournament organisers confirmed a 30% match-fee fine for Suryakumar Yadav after a PCB complaint over his post‑match dedication to the Indian armed forces and Pahalgam attack victims.
• ICC match referee Richie Richardson conducted a September 25 hearing and rejected Suryakumar’s not‑guilty plea, with the player advised to avoid political statements for the rest of the tournament.
• India’s board has lodged a formal appeal against the verdict, leaving the sanction under review ahead of the tournament’s conclusion.
• Pakistan’s Haris Rauf was fined 30% of his match fee for provocative on‑field gestures, while teammate Sahibzada Farhan received a formal warning for his gun‑firing celebration, following a BCCI complaint.
• No suspensions were announced, so the sanctioned players remain available for selection for the Asia Cup final on September 28.
