Rauf was fined part of his match fee for mimicking a crashing plane, while Farhan was cautioned for celebrating his half-century by wielding his bat like a gun. Both actions were reported by the BCCI as political gestures linked to India-Pakistan hostilities.
At the hearing, overseen by ICC officials Richie Richardson and Sally Higgins, both players pleaded guilty and were issued Level 1 sanctions. Pakistan team manager Naveed Cheema was also present.
Separately, Suryakumar Yadav has been found guilty by the ICC of breaching the code of conduct for his comments that alluded to the military skirmish between India and Pakistan, after their group match in the Asia Cup on September 14.
According to reports, India captain's not-guilty plea was rejected by ICC match referee Richie Richardson and that he was fined 30% of his match fee, while India have appealed against the verdict.
