A day after Ben Cutting and Sohail Tanvir were involved in a heated exchange during a group match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL), both Cutting and Tanvir have been fined 15% of their match fees for using a gesture that was obscene, offensive or insulting.
The incident occurred in the second last over of Zalmi’s inning when Cutting, after smashing Tanvir for three consecutive sixes, made inappropriate gestures using his fingers, while the bowler seemed to laugh it off. However, Tanvir also made a similar gesture after catching Cutting off Naseem Shah on the first ball of the final over.
Both the players were found to have violated Article 2.6 of the HBL PSL code of conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to ‘using a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during a PSL match.
As both Cutting and Tanvir pled guilty to the offenses and accepted the sanctions proposed to be imposed by match referee Ali Naqvi, no formal hearing about the incident was conducted.
