Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav, along with Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf, were fined 30% of their respective match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday over contentious behaviour and comments in the ongoing Asia Cup.

Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhaan was left with a warning after escaping the financial penalty.

Yadav has been found guilty by the ICC of breaching the code of conduct for his comments that alluded to the military skirmish between India and Pakistan, after their group match in the Asia Cup on September 14. ICC match referee Richie Richardson rejected his not-guilty plea and fined 30% of his match fee.

Rauf has also been convicted for breaching the code. He was seen responding to heckling from Indian fans by signalling 6-0 with his hands and making gestures depicting the downing of aircraft, in an apparent reference to the military conflict between India and Pakistan in May this year.
