India Files Official Complaint To ICC Against Haris Rauf, Sahibzada Farhan Over Provocative Gestures in Asia Cup 2025

BCCI filed the complaint after Haris Rauf's plane crash mimic and Sahibzada Farhan's gun gesture, actions criticized as provocative during Asia Cup Super Four match, ICC may hold a hearing.

  • On Wednesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India lodged an official complaint with the International Cricket Council and submitted video evidence to match referee Andy Pycroft.
  • During the September 21 match, Haris Rauf mimicked a plane crash and showed a `6-0` sign, while Sahibzada Farhan celebrated his fifty using his bat as a machine-gun prop linked to the Pahalgam terror attack.
  • Should the players deny the charges, an ICC hearing could be held where Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan may appear before Richie Richardson, ICC Elite Panel Referee, facing sanctions under the ICC Code of Conduct.
  • The PCB countered by complaining about India captain Suryakumar Yadav's post-match remarks, calling his dedication to the Pahalgam terror attack victims and armed forces `political`.
  • Questions persist over timing because ICC rules require a seven-day filing window, while Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi amplified controversy by posting a slow-motion video mirroring Rauf’s gesture.
