Pakistan Cricketer Azam Khan Fined 50% Match Fees for Displaying Palestine Flag on Bat
Azam Khan faces heavy fine for defying ICC rules with the Palestine flag on the bat.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) fines Azam Khan half his match fee for breaching clothing and equipment guidelines during the National T20 tournament in Karachi. Representing Karachi Whites, Azam took the field with his bat featuring the flag of Palestine, expressing solidarity with the victims of the conflict.
The ICC strictly prohibits cricketers from displaying political or religious messages on their clothing and equipment, including bats and gloves, as outlined in their rules and regulations. This Code of Conduct applies to domestic matches as well, enforced by all member boards.
