Mohammad Amir has been fined 150% of his match fee for a disciplinary
breach while playing for Sui Southern Gas Corporation against Pakistan
International Airlines in a qualifying fixture of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in
Faisalabad on Thursday.
Amir, who is under observation
since being cleared to play first-class cricket in January, was booked under
article 45.4 and 45.5 of the PCB's domestic Code of Conduct which relates to
"intimidating a player using crude or abusive language to sledge, and
making offensive remarks."
Amir, whose five-year spot-fixing
ban ended in September, has been in good form for his domestic side, picking 27
wickets in three matches so far.
"Amir was penalised for
violating the code of conduct," a PCB spokesman told. "He was fined
50 and 100% for two difference offences. He was found to be sledging around and
later was found exchanging crude language with PIA batsman Faisal Iqbal. The
batsman has also been fined 50% of his match for engaging in exchange of harsh
words in between them." Iqbal, though, denied this, saying that he had
only been warned not fined.
In a separate incident, Mohammad Irfan, playing
for Khan Research Laboratory, was fined 50% of his match fee for an altercation
with the umpire during a match against State Bank of Pakistan at the Gaddafi
Stadium in Lahore.
Irfan was reportedly caught
changing the condition of the ball by the opponent's secret camera. State Bank
of Pakistan's manager, who leveled the allegation, was also handed a fine.
