The Zimbabwe skipper has been fined 50 per cent of his match fees and received two demerit points which also means that he would miss out on the remaining two games in the ongoing T20I series.
This is due to Raza accumulating four demerit points within 24 months after his latest breach of the ICC Code of Conduct. Raza was charged for aggressively charging towards the Irish duo Campher and Little while pointing his bat and breaking away from the umpire who had tried to diffuse the situation.
The Irish players, Campher and Little have been fined only 15 per cent of their match fees and received a demerit point each which is their first in the 24 months.
Josh Little was charged for making physical contact towards the Zimbabwe skipper who had later complained that the bowler was blocking his path when trying to make a run.
Campher was charged with charging towards Raza, side-stepping one of the on-field umpires who tried to stop his progress.
Zimbabwe had managed to get the win over Ireland in their first match under floodlights which took place at the Harare Sports Club, Harare. The match was a thriller with the home side being able to secure a victory in the very last delivery and at the last wicket as well.
