Haris Rauf handed two-match suspension for ‘breaching ICC code of conduct’
Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has been suspended for the next two ODIs against South Africa for breaching the ICC code of conduct during the Super Four game against India in the Asia Cup on September 21, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Tuesday.
The ICC confirmed the disciplinary outcomes from the Asia Cup 2025 fixtures between India and Pakistan, with sanctions issued following hearings conducted by members of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.
According to the press release issued by the cricket governing body, Rauf received two demerit points and a 30% match fee fine for conduct that “brought the game into disrepute” during the India–Pakistan final on 28 September.
He had earlier been fined and given two demerit points for the same offence in the 14 September group match. The latest ruling raised his total to four demerit points, triggering two suspension points under the ICC Code of Conduct and resulting in a two-match ban, the press release stated.
Rauf will now miss Pakistan’s ODI matches against South Africa scheduled for 4 and 6 November.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan received an official warning and one demerit point for the same breach.
The controversy arose from an official complaint by the BCCI regarding the players’ actions during the Asia Cup Super Fours match in Dubai in September.
The incidents that caught attention on social media involved Farhan’s celebration after his half-century and Rauf’s gesture toward some fans while fielding, drawing discussion among cricket followers.
In the 14 September match, India’s Suryakumar Yadav was similarly found guilty of conduct bringing the game into disrepute and fined 30% of his match fee, along with two demerit points.
For the 21 September encounter, Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh was cleared of an alleged charge under Article 2.6 regarding obscene or insulting gestures, and no sanction was imposed.
During the final on 28 September, India’s Jasprit Bumrah accepted a charge under Article 2.21 and received an official warning along with one demerit point, avoiding a formal hearing.
The ICC reiterated that all offences and sanctions were determined in accordance with the governing body’s established disciplinary framework.

Prince Harry triggers fresh war with King Charles, Prince William
Prince Harry has yet again plunged his father from the frying pan, and straight into the fire, with his fresh new war of optics, allegedly.
Everything has been broken down by royal commentator and Daily Beast contributor Tom Skyes, on his substack ‘The Royalist’.
There he claims that while sources revealed earlier that regular phone calls have once again resumed between father and son, and many assumed that Harry would ‘avoid overshadowing’ major royal events like Rememberance Sunday slated for November 9th, or even Armistice Day on November 11th, “to make his own gesture,” Instead, “he has triggered a fresh optics war.”
According to Mr Skyes “His team denies any intent to overshadow William’s Rio showcase—featuring Kylie Minogue and attended by global political leaders—but blamed the late announcement on Harry’s lack of International Protected Person status and ongoing security disputes.”
But to the writer that explanation is “unlikely to convinced because when placed alongside someone like his older brother’s trip to Brazil, “a charity dinner in Toronto risks looking modest.”
For those unversed with this trip, the Duke has a lot lined up for Canada. From visiting the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre to attending events in support of veterans on Remembrance Day.
Furthermore, all this will follow a private lunch organized by the True Patriot Love Foundation, a group dedicated to supporting Canadian military members and their families.

Tom Hanks admits he faced ‘terrifying’ situation in his new play ‘This World of Tomorrow’
Tom Hanks recently got candid and opened up about forgetting his lines during his new Off-Broadway play, This World of Tomorrow.
On the Monday, November 3 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 69-year-old American actor and filmmaker appeared to promote his show, This World of Tomorrow, which he also co-wrote with James Glossman.
While talking about his Off-Broadway show, Hanks told the host that he forgot his lines during preview performances of the show.
He explained, “I disappeared the other night, as a matter of fact,” and joked that his costars in the play Kelli O’Hara and Ruben Santiago-Hudson “all just kind of look at me and go, ‘Come on, man. I learned my lines, haven’t you learned yours?’”
Colbert enquired him how the experience felt different as he penned the play, to which the two-time Oscar-winning actor replied, “Yes it is. No. 1 because, they are gonna have a real hard time firing me if I screw up.”
Hanks went on to state that co-writing the play with Glossman has been “a pleasure and a joy,” but it is also “as terrifying a situation I’ve ever had.”
“The huge difference between film and stage is, in film the director is the governor of the story. He can change it, not say it, don’t say that, say this instead. The stage, if it’s not on the page, it ain’t on the stage. The writers are the definitive arbiters of what is being said,” the Saving Private Ryan star explained.
