      <title>Saud, Shaheen, Kamran face penalties for misconduct in match against South Africa</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistani cricketers Saud Shakeel, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Kamran Ghulam have faced penalties after their match against South Africa in the Tri-Nation series for breaching International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three players violated Level 1 of the conduct during the match.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pacer Afridi was fined 25% of his match fee for violating Article 2.12 of the Code, which addresses “inappropriate physical contact with a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee, or any other individual (including a spectator) during an international match.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the 28th over of South Africa’s innings, Afridi blocked batter Matthew Breetzke as he attempted a single, leading to physical contact and a tense exchange between the two players.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shakeel and Ghulam were fined 10% of their match fees for celebrating too closely to batter Temba Bavuma after his run-out in the 29th over.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both players were found guilty of violating Article 2.5 of the Code, which pertains to “using language, actions, or gestures that disparage or could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter.”’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All players have agreed to the imposed sanctions, and no formal hearings will take place concerning the incidents.&lt;/p&gt;
