Controversies

During the 2022 Asia Cup match between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Asif Ali and Fareed were fined 25 per cent of their match fees for their on-field altercation after Fareed got Asif out. Both were punished for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the clash between Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to an ICC statement, Fareed breached Article 2.1.12, which relates to "inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match." Asif was found to have breached Article 2.6 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "using a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an International Match". Both players admitted their offence and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee Andy Pycroft. [8] [9]
