Karachi Kings all-rounder Aamir Jamal has been fined for breaching the code of conduct during his side’s nail-biting win over Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 on Monday.
The 28-year-old was handed a 5% fine on his match fee for committing a Level 1 offense under Article 2.5 of the PSL Code of Conduct, which relates to the use of language, actions, or gestures that could provoke an aggressive reaction from a dismissed batter.
The incident took place in the 15th over of Zalmi’s innings when Jamal, after dismissing Hussain Talat, made a comment that was deemed inappropriate by the match officials.
The on-field umpires, Faisal Khan Afridi and Paul Reiffel, reported the matter to match referee Iftikhar Ahmed. Aamir Jamal accepted the charge and the sanction, avoiding the need for a formal hearing.
Despite the disciplinary setback, Karachi Kings went on to register their third win of the season, edging past Zalmi by two wickets in a tense finish.
Chasing a target of 148 on a sluggish pitch, the Kings held their nerve to seal victory on the third delivery of the final over, with Hasan Ali striking the winning runs.
The Kings will now shift their focus to their next fixture against Quetta Gladiators, scheduled for April 25 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
