Rauf received a two-match ban and four demerit points for the two events that occurred in two different games against India. The pacer did not play in the opening ODI series encounter against South Africa on Tuesday, and he will not play in the series' subsequent match on November 6.
In the meantime, Suryakumar Yadav was fined thirty percent of his match money for expressing solidarity with the victims of the Pahalgam terror assault and endorsing the Indian military during the post-match presentation following the Pakistan match.

After taking out Rauf in the Asia Cup Final, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was also docked one demerit point for making the "plane down" gesture.
Haris Rauf is suspended for two games:
On September 14, Rauf was initially found guilty of using insulting gestures, including making a plane crash motion in response to Pakistan's allegations that it had shot down six Indian fighter jets during the Operation Sindoor confrontation.
After being made fun of the Indian supporters while fielding close to the boundary line during the match on September 28, the bowler performed the similar gesture.

"Haris Rauf (Pakistan) was again found guilty of a breach of Article 2.21 following a hearing conducted by ICC Match Referee Richie Richardson," the ICC said in a statement. In addition to two further demerit points, he was fined thirty percent of his match cost.
This results in two suspension points under the ICC's disciplinary framework, bringing Rauf's total to four demerit points within a 24-month period. Rauf is thus barred from Pakistan's ODI matches against South Africa on November 4 and 6, 2025, in compliance with the Code, the international cricket organization continued.

In addition to Rauf, Pakistani batter Sahibza Farhan received a demerit point. Arshdeep Singh, an Indian pacer, was not found guilty of engaging in any rude or indecent behavior, therefore thus received no punishment.
Notably, the ICC's move coincides with the ongoing dispute surrounding the Asia Cup trophy. The ACC Chief ordered staff to carry the trophy outside the stadium after the Suryakumar Yadav-led team refused to accept it from Mohsin Naqvi after the Asia Cup final. It is thought to be at the board's Dubai office.
In the meanwhile, the BCCI intends to bring up the matter at a forthcoming ICC meeting on November 7, which Naqvi would miss if the claims are accurate.
