\n\nPakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf was fined 20% of his match fee and given a demerit point by the International Cricket Council (ICC) following his confrontation with England all-rounder Will Jacks during their ODI in Lahore on Sunday. Rauf is now closer to a suspension as a result of the punishment, which raises his total to five demerit points over a 24-month period. He was convicted of violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which deals with behavior that goes against the spirit of the game.
\n\nThe incident happened at the conclusion of Pakistan's innings' 46th over. Batting at the non-striker's end, Rauf argued with Jacks after requesting a wide. Despite umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid's warning, he raised his bat during the exchange and persisted in arguing. Then Rauf approached the England all-rounder, brushing by the umpire.
\n\nArticle 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel was the basis for Rauf's charges. His third offense in a 24-month period was the most recent demerit point.
