Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed banned for four games
Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has been slapped with a suspension for his comments about Andile Phehlukwayo.
Sarfaraz Ahmed taunted all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo in Urdu:
‘Abey
kaale ,teri ammi aaj kahaan baitheen hain ? Kyaparwa ke aaye haiaaj ? (Hey black guy, where’s your mother sitting today? What prayer have you got her to say for you today?)’.
His comments were heard on the stump microphone.
Sarfaraz aimed a comment at South Africa all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo which resulted in Sarfaraz being charged with an offence under the Code, namely;
“Engaging in any conduct (whether through the use of language, gestures or otherwise) which is likely to offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate, threaten, disparage or vilify any reasonable person in the position of a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee, Umpire Support Personnel or any other person (including a spectator) on the basis of their race, religion, culture, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin.”
Sarfaraz will miss the remaining two matches of the ongoing ODI series as well as the first two matches of the T20I series to follow.
ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said:
“The ICC has a zero-tolerance policy towards conduct of this nature. Sarfaraz has promptly admitted the offence, was regretful of his actions and has issued a public apology, so these factors were taken into account when determining an appropriate sanction.”
Social Media Verdict:
BREAKING NEWS: ICC Offcially charged and suspend Pakistan Sarfaraz Ahmed. 4 Matches ban likely. Malik leading Pakistan today. #PakVSa

A 4 day odis ban was kind of expected though a good gesture by Sarfraz to apologise,Shoaib Malik the nee captain,hoping for a Fakhar Zaman Blitz today,has been off colour.. #SAvPAK

No Sarfaraz Ahmed in Pakistan XI!
— ICC (@ICC) January 27, 2019
Shoaib Malik stands in as captain. Pakistan win the toss and opt to bowl in the pink ODI against South Africa.#SAvPAK LIVE ⏬https://t.co/66Iz9Ecjaq pic.twitter.com/Uc7dK8wRWL
