The violation was flagged under Article 2.5 of the HBL PSL Code of Conduct, which forbids any language, actions, or gestures that might demean or provoke a hostile reaction from a batter following their dismissal.

Article 5 of the HBL PSL Code of Conduct prohibits any language, actions, or gestures that could belittle or provoke a hostile reaction from a batsman after they have been dismissed during a game.

The incident occurred in the third over of the Quetta Gladiators’ innings, during which Iftikhar Ahmed directed inappropriate and unsportsmanlike language at a dismissed batsman. This incident was noted for breaching conduct standards and led to subsequent disciplinary action.

Iftikhar Ahmed admitted to violating the code of conduct and readily accepted the disciplinary measures proposed by match referee Ali Naqvi. His acceptance of the sanctions, which included a monetary fine and other penalties, effectively resolved the matter without the need for a formal hearing or further proceedings.

The penalty, imposed by the impartial on-field umpires Rashid Riaz and Richard Illingworth, underscored the league’s steadfast dedication to maintaining the integrity of its Code of Conduct. This action reinforced the importance of adherence to the rules and highlighted the league’s commitment to ensuring fair play and discipline within the competition.

In a captivating showcase of spin bowling skills, Usama Mir of Multan Sultans has emerged as the top wicket-taker in the current Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 9.

Usama Mir’s remarkable haul of 21 wickets in PSL-9 has not only eclipsed the previous record held by Rashid Khan from the eighth season but also stands as a testament to his exceptional skills and dedication.

His exceptional performance was highlighted in a recent match against Quetta Gladiators at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium. Usama delivered a stellar 3.5-over spell, capturing three vital wickets while conceding only 22 runs, further establishing his dominance in the league.

Usama Mir’s achievement, while impressive for a spinner, gains even more significance when viewed in a broader historical context. The records set by fast bowlers like Hasan Ali and Abbas Afridi in earlier PSL seasons serve as important milestones in the league’s history.

In his recent performance against Multan Sultans at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, Tariq bowled four overs, conceding 38 runs at an economy rate of 9.5, but did not claim any wickets.

Iftikhar Ahmed of the Multan Sultans has been fined five percent of his match fee for violating the HBL PSL code of conduct in a recent game against the Quetta Gladiators.

The infraction, classified as a Level 1 offense, pertained to Iftikhar’s breach of Article 2.5, which forbids any actions, language, or gestures that could incite a confrontational reaction from a dismissed batter.

This incident occurred during the third over of Quetta Gladiators’ innings, when Iftikhar used inappropriate language directed at the departing batter.

Since Iftikhar admitted to the violation and accepted the penalties suggested by match referee Ali Naqvi, a formal hearing was unnecessary. On-field umpires Rashid Riaz and Richard Illingworth enforced the penalty.
