Naseem was deemed to have breached Article 2.2, which addresses the misuse of cricket equipment, apparel, ground gear, and various fixtures.

Naseem breached Article 2.2, which covers the improper use of cricket equipment, clothing, ground apparatus, and fixtures. This infraction occurred when he kicked the stumps following the last delivery of the Multan Sultans’ innings.

Recognizing his misconduct, Naseem admitted his guilt and agreed to the penalties suggested by match referee Roshan Mahanama, thereby eliminating the need for a formal hearing. This fair and just resolution underscores the importance of upholding the code of conduct in PSL 9 matches.

As a result of the slow over-rate penalty, every player from the Multan Sultans was fined 10% of their match fee. This action was taken by Article 2.22 of the HBL PSL Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which stipulates financial penalties for teams that fail to adhere to the prescribed over-rate requirements.
