Pakistan fined for slow over-rate in ODI against New Zealand
Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after Mohammad Rizwan's side was ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
Rizwan pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Chris Brown and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire Wayne Knights leveled the charge.

Saliya Saman banned for five years under Anti-Corruption Code
Former Sri Lankan domestic cricketer Saliya Saman has been banned from all cricket for five years after an ICC Anti-Corruption Tribunal found him guilty of breaching the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Anti-Corruption Code. Saman was among eight people charged in September 2023 for breaching the Code. The charges relate to the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League and attempts to corrupt matches in that tournament which were disrupted by the ICC, the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) for the purposes of the ECB's Code for the tournament. Following a full hearing and presentation of written and oral argument, the Tribunal found Saman guilty of: Article 2.1.1 – Being party to an attempt to fix, contrive or influence improperly matches or aspects of matches in the Abu Dhabi T10 2021. Article 2.1.3 – Offering a Reward to another Participant in exchange for that player engaging in Corrupt Conduct under the Code. Article 2.1.4 – Directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating any Participant to breach Code Article 2.1. The ban is backdated to 13 September 2023, when Saman was provisionally suspended. The decision on merits and sanction (which has been redacted to protect the identities of the ICC's witnesses and other third parties) is available on the page here. The media release on the charges is available here. Fo more about the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, click here.

Edwards believes England remain on track for World Cup glory ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025
England have two players holding onto the No.1 spot on the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings , with skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt (batting) and spinner Sophie Ecclestone (bowling) both currently rated as the best in the world in their specific profession and the duo likely to play a major role in the side's race to this year's World Cup title. Edwards suggested the pair were in good shape ahead of England's World Cup tilt and said the team were working extremely hard at getting rid of the tag as being a poor fielding side. "It is something we are working on, we know we have that tag now," Edwards added. "Sometimes I get frustrated because we can drop one catch and we are labelled a bad fielding team, even though we have fielded really well otherwise. "I am confident we can get to a place where people are talking really positively about our fielding."
