Khaled has been found guilty of breaching Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct. A demerit point has also been added next to his disciplinary record in the Level 1 breach. This is his first in 24 months.

On the second day of the Test, Kyle Verreynne stood by defending Khaled’s ball in the 95th over of the Proteas’ first innings. Then Khaled threw the ball. The ball hits The Right-Hand Gloves of Verin. This angered Kyle Verreynne. Then Yasir Ali came and tried to calm him down.

The umpires also spoke to Mominul Haque in this regard. Then on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Allahudien Paleker, third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth umpire Bongani made the allegations. Khaled accepted the punishment given by the ICC.

Khaled was not given more than 1 demerit point, as he committed the first such offense in the last 24 months. In the next 24 months, if Khaled’s demerit points increase to 4, he will be banned for one match.
