Colin Munro, Mohammad Rizwan fined in PSL 2025: Here's why

What's the story

Islamabad United's Colin Munro and Multan Sultans' captain Mohammad Rizwan have been fined for breaching the Pakistan Super League (PSL) code of conduct.

The players were fined 30% of their match fees each after Wednesday's game between the two teams.

The breach was for 'personal abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee,' following Munro's gesture toward Sultans bowler Iftikhar Ahmed and the subsequent altercation with Rizwan.

Here are further details.

Incident details

Munro's gesture sparks controversy

The incident took place in the second innings of the match when Munro imitated a gesture at bowler Iftikhar, implying he was bowling illegally.

This accusation angered Iftikhar, who then went to square-leg umpire Chris Brown to complain.

Rizwan, who was furious at Munro's allegation, had a heated argument with him.

Though PCB didn't charge Munro for his allegation on Iftikhar, it was considered by match referee Ali Naqvi and the board before penalizing both players.

Level 2 charge

Players' behavior deemed as outright abuse

Both Munro and Rizwan were deemed to have crossed the line from aggressive conduct into outright abuse, resulting in more severe charges and penalties.

Although no umpire reported Iftikhar's bowling action, this isn't the first time a Pakistani bowler has been accused of illegal delivery by an opposing batsman.

Islamabad United eventually won the match by seven wickets with Munro scoring 45 runs off 28 balls before being dismissed by Iftikhar off Michael Bracewell's bowling.

Additional fines

Other players fined for misconduct

Along with Munro and Rizwan, Karachi Kings' Aamer Jamal was also fined 5% of his match fee for a Level 1 breach.

He was found guilty of giving Peshawar Zalmi batter Hussain Talat a send-off after dismissing him.

All three players have accepted the charges and pleaded guilty to them, further highlighting the importance of maintaining decorum on the field during PSL matches.
