The hearing was conducted by match referee Richie Richardson, with Pakistan team manager Naveed Akram Cheema assisting the players. Both Haris and Farhan also submitted written statements.
According to sources, Richardson questioned the players about their alleged provocative celebrations. Haris Rauf defended his actions, while Sahibzada Farhan explained his aerial firing gesture, saying it is a common celebratory expression in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s culture.
Haris Rauf could face a penalty of up to 50% of his match fee, depending on the referee’s final verdict.
