Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Khalid Usman and Sajid Khan have been fined 85 per cent and 20 per cent of their match fees for a level 1 offence for showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during the third round Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2021-22 match against Southern Punjab at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad.
Khalid and Sajid in two separate incidents delayed their departures from the crease after being given out and, as such, were found to have violated Article 2.8 of the PCB Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which reads as: “Showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during a Match.”
This was Khalid’s second breach in the ongoing season and therefore was fined 85 per cent of his match fees.
On-field umpires Nasir Hussain and Ghaffar Kazmi levelled the charges on the players, who accepted the sanctions proposed by match-referee Nadeem Arshad after requesting a hearing.
