After a hearing was conducted by ICC Match Referee Andy Pycroft over Sept. 21 match, it was found that “Arshdeep Singh was found not guilty of an alleged breach of Article 2.6, which pertains to using a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting, and therefore no sanction was imposed,” the ICC said.
During the September 28 Asia Cup final, which was won by India, Jasprit Bumrah's conduct attracted an official warning and one demerit point.
“As he accepted the sanction, no formal hearing was required,” the ICC said.
In the same match, Rauf was again found guilty of a breach of ICC conduct and was fined 30% of his match fee and received two additional demerit points.
“This takes Rauf's total to four demerit points within a 24-month period, resulting in two suspension points under the ICC's disciplinary framework,” the cricket body announced, barring him from playing on Nov. 4 and 6 in the ODI series against South Africa.
