Pakistan Files ICC Complaint Over Fakhar Zaman Dismissal in Asia Cup Loss to India

Pakistan cites limited camera angles plus a third‑umpire call that it believes undercut early momentum.

Overview

  • Pakistan lodged a formal complaint with the ICC on September 22 and recorded the incident in the captain’s match report.
  • The TV umpire, Ruchira Palliyaguruge, ruled Fakhar Zaman out on review, judging the catch by Sanju Samson to be clean.
  • Captain Salman Ali Agha questioned the decision, saying it appeared the ball bounced before reaching the wicketkeeper.
  • Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar criticized the officiating and said the benefit of the doubt should have gone to the batter.
  • Fakhar was out for 15 with Pakistan 21 on the board; Pakistan finished 171-5, and India won by six wickets as the ICC now reviews the complaint.
