Northern have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate in their fixture against Balochistan at the State Bank Stadium in the final round of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2021-22.
Northern were found six overs short of their target after taking into account time allowances and, as such, were charged under Article 2.22 of the PCB Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with the minimum over-rate offences.
As such, all members of the playing XI were fined PKR72,000. Northern captain Nauman Ali accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Nadeem Arshad. The charges were levelled by on-field umpires Nasir Hussain and Qaiser Waheed.
