Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza Suspended by ICC for Violent Conduct
Zimbabwe’s victory in the first match of the T20I series against Ireland was overshadowed by the suspension of captain Sikandar Raza. Raza’s exceptional performance in batting and bowling led Zimbabwe to a thrilling victory, but his violent actions on the field have resulted in a two-match ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Raza has been reprimanded for breaching Level One guidelines and will miss the next two T20I matches of the series. This suspension comes as a big setback for Zimbabwe, as Raza is considered the backbone of the team as a captain and all-rounder.
During the match, Raza’s aggressive behavior towards Irish players Kardis Comfer and Josh Little led to disciplinary action by the ICC. Raza was fined 50% of his match fee and given two demerit points, resulting in his suspension. Meanwhile, Campher and Little were fined 15% of their match fee and received one demerit point each for their aggressive behavior towards Raza.
The upcoming matches against Ireland will be a big challenge for Zimbabwe without their captain and star all-rounder. The team will have to regroup and find a way to secure victory without Raza’s leadership on the field.
The next match between Zimbabwe and Ireland is scheduled for December 10, and it remains to be seen how Zimbabwe will fare without their suspended captain.
