Sarfaraz fined for using inappropriate language in National T20 Cup

RAWALPINDI: Sindh wicket-keeper batter and former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has been fined for using inappropriate language in the seventh match of the ongoing National T20 Cup 2022.

In a match between Sindh and Balochistan, Sarfaraz used incongruous language after being dismissed by Kashif Bhatti in the 17th over.

The on-field umpires Mohammad Asif and Imtiaz Iqbal, third umpire Rashid Riaz and fourth umpire Nasir Hussain imposed the charge on the wicket-keeper batter.

As a result, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) charged Sarfaraz under Article 2.3 which reads as, “Use of audible obscenity”.

The right-handed batter was charged 30 percent of the match fee for a level 1 breach of the PCB’s Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

Sarfaraz being guilty and accepting the sanctions, however, outwrote the need for a formal hearing for the charges imposed by the match referee Nadeem Arshad.

It is pertinent to mention here that Balochistan edged past table-toppers Sindh by five wickets to claim their second victory in the ongoing tournament.
