PCB Files ICC Complaint Against Arshdeep Singh, Will Appeal Haris Rauf Fine

The steps deepen a run of conduct cases that ICC officials must navigate as the Asia Cup reaches its finale in Dubai.

Overview

  • Pakistan’s board has submitted a complaint to the ICC alleging Arshdeep Singh made obscene gestures toward spectators after the September 21 Super Four match, with calls for strict disciplinary action.
  • The ICC has not announced a ruling on the Arshdeep allegation, which Pakistani media reported based on PCB filings and sources.
  • The PCB says it will appeal the 30% match-fee fine issued to Haris Rauf for an on-field gesture in the same Super Four fixture.
  • A senior PCB official confirmed Rauf was found guilty by the ICC match referee and penalised, and the board intends to challenge that decision.
  • Earlier in the tournament, the ICC sanctioned India captain Suryakumar Yadav for politicised comments, and match referee Richie Richardson fined Rauf and issued a warning to Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan for gestures.
