Suryakumar Yadav Fined 30% Of Match Fee For ICC Code Of Conduct Breach In Asia Cup 2025
India captain Suryakumar Yadav has been fined 30% of his match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for breaching the code of conduct during the Asia Cup 2025 clash against Pakistan on September 14.
The penalty was imposed after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodged an official complaint regarding Suryakumar's post-match comments. Following India's emphatic victory, the 35-year-old Mumbai batter expressed solidarity with the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and praised the Indian military for Operation Sindoor.

The ICC reviewed the complaint and held discussions with Suryakumar before delivering its verdict. Although Suryakumar initially pleaded not guilty, ICC match referee Richie Richardson ruled against him and imposed the fine.
India, however, has filed an appeal against the decision and is awaiting further review.
This disciplinary action comes in the wake of rising scrutiny over on-field and off-field statements by cricketers in high-profile India-Pakistan encounters.
More updates are awaited on this development.
