Khurram Nawaz Gandapur made these remarks while talking to the senior leaders and personalities belonging to various walks of life that called on him in his office after the performance of Umrah. He said that national dialogue, not confrontation, is the need of the hour to get rid of the present system.

He warned that the anti-Pakistan forces can exploit the political divide and use the situation for their advantage.

The senior leaders who met Khurram Nawaz Gandapur included Noorullah Siddiqui, Arif Chaudhry, and Umar Daraz Khan. He said that the country can still avoid many problems if the programme presented by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri for change in the system is implemented.

Taijul guilty of breaching ICC Code of Conduct

Dubai, May 25, 2022 (PPI-OT):Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Dhaka.

Taijul was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to throwing a ball at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an international match.

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Taijul’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 69th over of Sri Lanka’s innings on Wednesday, when Taijul, after fielding the ball on his follow through, threw it in the direction of Angelo Mathews, hitting him, when the batter was within the popping crease and not intending to take a run.

Taijul admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Chris Broad of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Joel Wilson and Sharfuddola, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth official Gazi Sohel levelled the charges.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 percent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
