The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filed a complaint against Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh for violation of a code of conduct with the International Cricket Council (ICC). In particular, the board had earlier complained to misconduct during the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 against India captain Suryakumar Yadav.
India has opted to bat till number 8 and has included only three expert bowlers in most of its Asia Cup 2025 matches. Arshdeep Singh was on the bench for four out of six matches. In particular, the left-handed fast bowler recently completed 100 T20 Eye wickets for men in Blue during an eight-team tournament.
Arshadeep Singh’s epic becomes viral for the stimulating gestures of Haris Rauf
Indian players engaged in hot exchange with Pakistan cricketers during the Super 4 clash between India and Pakistan. Abhishek Sharma and Haris Rauf got into a controversy, and the on-field umpires had to intervene to stop their oral spat.
Haris then gestured a controversial ‘6-0’ towards Indian fans and shot the aircraft, referring to Pakistan’s rejected claims to demolish six Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor. The mob gestured him after taunting him with the mantras ‘Kohli, Kohli’.
In response, Arshdeep gave a sharp answer to Rauf’s provocation. A video of his response has gone viral on social media.
