Shahid Afridi Found Guilty of Breaching the ICC Code of Conduct PDF Print E-mail

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has received two suspension points after breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his side’s fifth and final ODI against Australia in Perth on Sunday.

 

Two suspension points in the code means a ban of a Test, two ODIs or two T20Is. As such, Shahid will miss Pakistan’s next two T20Is against Australia on 5 February in Melbourne and against England in Dubai on 19 February.

 

Shahid was charged with an article 2.2.9 offence of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to “changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3 of the Laws of Cricket”.

 

The charge was laid by on-field umpires Asoka de Silva of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires and Paul Reiffel of the Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires, third umpire Rod Tucker of the international panel and fourth umpire Mick Martell.

 

The incident that led to the charge being laid took place when the Pakistan captain was observed in the act of changing the condition of the ball during Australia’s innings without the permission of the on-field umpires.

 

Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees handed Shahid the maximum penalty under the provision of the code. As Shahid pleaded guilty at an early stage, under the provisions of the new code, there was no need for a full hearing.

 

Commenting on his decision, Mr Madugalle said: “I imposed the maximum penalty under the code to Shahid and reminded him of his responsibilities as a national captain which is to ensure that the match is played according to the laws of the game and in the spirit in which it is intended to be played.

 

“Shahid, when pleading guilty, apologised and regretted his actions.”
