ICC takes action against the Pakistan women’s team batter Gull Feroza
On the evening of September 8, the ICC shared an official press release to inform the public about the actions taken against the Pakistan women’s cricket team batter. His actions went under the scanner during Pakistan’s Women’s Asia Cup 2026 match against Hong Kong, where Gull Feroza reacted after the umpire gave her an LBW dismissal.
She was furious with the umpire’s decision, and, showing the bat, she indicated the ball touched the bat. However, the umpire remained on the decision, and Gull had to depart. Days after the incident, the ICC officially confirmed the actions after reviewing the whole episode.
Gull Feroza admitted her offence.
In their official release, the ICC mentioned that Gull Feroza admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees member Supriya Rani Das. As the cricketer herself admitted her offence, there will be no formal hearing in that incident.
According to the official release, On-field umpires Rabab Ahsan and Rokeya Sultana, third umpire Shivani Mishra, and fourth umpire Shathira Jakir took charge against the Pakistan women’s team batter.
Along with 10% of her match fee, the cricket council added one demerit point to her account as well. ICC informed that it was her second offence within 24 months, which resulted in a couple of demerit points within thise mentioned time period.
