Wahab Riaz And Watson Charged By ICC Against Code Of Conduct Violation
If players admit their wrongdoing, they are usually let off with a warning. But it is uncertain what kind of action will be taken against the cricketers.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) charged Wahab Riaz & Shane Watson on Friday for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct in the coursework of the Pakistan vs. Australia quarter-final, which the Australian team won.
The ICC will announce on Saturday what if any action will be taken against them for the violation.
Riaz, in the work of an aggressive bowling spell, peppered Watson with a series of short-pitched deliveries & sarcastically applauded, even blowing the 33-year-old a kiss at stage
There was also an exchange of words between the players.
Riaz told SkySports earlier: We watched how the Australia guys play & had a chat before the game & put designs in place. I knew Watson was not so lovely with short balls so I knew I had to assault. The designs were successful sometimes but regrettably they could not win the game.
Following the match, Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq hailed the fiery Riaz's performance.
"He bowled his heart out & was a different kind of bowler throughout this event. I have never seen a bowler bowling like that & if that catch had been taken who knows what could have happened?"
Watson would have been caught out in the work of Riaz's bowling spell, had Rahat Ali been able to hold on to the ball at deep-square leg..
