LAHORE: Ghani Glass opener Sharjeel Khan has been fined 25% of his match fee for breaching the PCB’s code of conduct during his team’s fourth-round match against Eshaal Associates in the President’s Cup One-Day 2024-25 at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.

Sharjeel was penalised for a Level 1 violation of Article 2.8, which pertains to showing dissent at an umpire’s decision. The incident occurred on the first ball of the match when Sharjeel was given out caught behind off Eshaal Associates’ bowler Asad Raza. On-field umpires Imranullah Aslam and Ghulam Sarwar levelled the charges, and Sharjeel accepted both the charge and the fine imposed by match referee Kamran Chaudary.
