ICC Sanctions Pakistan Bowlers for Inappropriate Celebrations in West Indies Test
Following Pakistan's 90-run loss to the West Indies in the first Test at Trinidad, the ICC sanctioned bowlers Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Abbas for inappropriate on-field celebrations. Shahzad was fined 15% of his match fee and received one demerit point for celebrating too close to batter Shai Hope, while Abbas was reprimanded and given one demerit point for an animated celebration after dismissing Jomel Warrican. Both players admitted the offences and accepted the penalties without formal hearings.
