India\u2019s complaint over gestures made by Farhan and Rauf will be heard on Friday
\n Dubai
\nIndia skipper Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled guilty by the ICC for violating the code of conduct after making remarks hinting at the military clash between India and Pakistan following their Asia Cup group match on September 14, ESPNcricinfo reported on Friday.
\nThe publication reported that ICC match referee Richie Richardson rejected Yadav\u2019s not-guilty plea; however, it is not yet clear what his punishment was.
\nIndia, in response, have filed an appeal against the verdict.
\nThis development comes a day after reports that the ICC formally reprimanded the Indian captain over his political statements after the Pakistan match.
\nThe ICC had held a hearing on an official complaint filed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), in which it reportedly advised Yadav to refrain from making political statements in the future.
\nThe PCB, in its complaint, accused the Indian captain of politicising cricket and violating the ICC\u2019s code of conduct on neutrality.
\nSources said the PCB submitted a detailed letter demanding strict action, claiming that Yadav\u2019s remarks were against the spirit of the game and harmed cricket\u2019s reputation.
\nAccording to the foreign publication, the PCB had demanded that the top cricketing body impose a Level 4 sanction on Suryakumar, which is reserved for the most serious breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct.
\nThe issue arose during the high-profile game between the arch-rivals, which drew significant attention both on and off the field.
\nThe Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had also lodged a complaint against two Pakistan cricketers \u2014 Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf \u2014 against their on-field celebrations.
\nIn a hearing in Dubai conducted by ICC match referee Richardson today, Farhan and Rauf \u201csubmitted their written responses\u201d to ICC match referee Richardson, who held a hearing in Dubai, sources told Geo News.
\nBoth cricketers \u201cdenied\u201d having any political intent in their on-field celebrations.
\nIndia and Pakistan only play in multinational tournaments as their bilateral ties have been stalled since 2012 over political tension.
\nIn the Asia Cup 2025, the arch-rivals have so far faced off twice and are set to take on each other for the first time in the continental tournament\u2019s final on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
