As per the ICC statement, Rauf has been suspended for Pakistan’s ODI games against South Africa on November 4 and 6 after he received four demerit points within 24 months.

“The ICC issued the outcomes of several Code of Conduct proceedings arising from matches played during the ICC Asia Cup 2025,” the statement added.

The cricketing body said that the “hearings were conducted by members of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees” following incidents in the matches between India and Pakistan on 14, 21, and 28 September.

Off-spinner Haris Rauf was found guilty of a breach of Article 2.21 of the Code, which relates to conduct that brings the game into disrepute, and was fined 30 per cent of his match fee and received two demerit points, according to the statement.
