Latif suspended

Tuesday, September 9 2003

Pakistan captain, Rashi Latif will miss the upcoming 5-match ODI series against Bangladesh due to suspension. The 34-yr old wicketkeeper batsman claimed a catch off Alok Kapali when replays showed he picked up the ball after it had hit the ground.

During his hearing, Latif claimed that he believed that he had taken the catch cleanly. However, according to ICC Match Referee Mike Procter, he was found guilty of a 'Level 3 offence of Unfair Play under the ICC Code of Conduct'.

Latif has 24 hours since the decision (passed yesterday) to appeal it.
