Shaheen obstructed South African batter Matthew Breetzke as he took a single in Wednesday's match in Karachi, resulting in physical contact and a heated exchange of words. The ICC said he would be fined 25 per cent of his match fee for "inappropriate physical contact".

The statement added that Shakeel and substitute fielder Ghulam would have 10 per cent of their match fee docked for celebrating too closely to batter Temba Bavuma.
