Pakistan fast bowlers Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Abbas have been penalised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for breaching its Code of Conduct during the first Test against the West Indies.

Shahzad was fined 15 per cent of his match fee. Abbas, meanwhile, received an official reprimand.

Both players were also handed one demerit point on their disciplinary records. It was the first such offence for each player during the past 24 months.

The action was taken under Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct. The provision deals with language, actions or gestures that can disparage a batter or provoke an aggressive response after a dismissal.

Shahzad was sanctioned following the dismissal of West Indies batter Shai Hope. The Pakistan pacer celebrated aggressively after taking the wicket during the 17th over of the West Indies’ second innings.

Abbas was penalised for his animated celebration after dismissing Jomel Warrican.

The charges were brought by on-field umpires Alex Wharf and Richard Kettleborough. Third umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal was also involved in the disciplinary process.

The proposed sanctions came from Jeff Crowe, a member of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.

Both Pakistani bowlers accepted their respective offences and the proposed penalties. As a result, no formal hearing was required.

Under ICC regulations, Level 1 breaches can result in an official reprimand or a fine of up to 50 per cent of a player’s match fee. Players can also receive one or two demerit points.

The demerit points remain on a player’s disciplinary record for 24 months.

A player who accumulates four or more demerit points during that period can have them converted into suspension points.

Such suspension points can eventually lead to a ban from international cricket.

    USS George Washington heads to Middle East as Linc…

    WASHINGTON: The United States is preparing to send the aircraft carrier USS George Washington to the Middle East, where it is expected to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln after the carrier’s unusually long deployment in the region. The planned rotation comes as the United States remains deeply engaged in the ongoing conflict and heightened tensions with Iran, making the movement of another US carrier into the region closely watched. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the deployment plan had been prepared before the latest developments highlighted the difficulties facing the Abraham Lincoln and its crew. The planned handover, however, has underscored the growing strain on US Navy personnel and warships operating at sea for extended periods. Lincoln’s extraordinary deployment The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed in the region for more than eight months and has reportedly gone around 200 days without a port call. That is far longer than the typical schedule for a carrier, which would normally be expected to make a port visit after roughly 30 to 45 days. The prolonged deployment reflects the extraordinary operational demands created by the conflict and continuing instability across the Middle East. For the Lincoln’s crew, the arrival of a replacement carrier could provide an opportunity for rest and recovery after months of sustained operations. Washington moves west The USS George Washington had been operating in the western Pacific and recently visited Vietnam before beginning its journey towards the Middle East. The carrier has been moving west through the Strait of Malacca, before continuing across the Indian Ocean towards the Middle East. Its deployment is expected to maintain continuity in the US Navy’s carrier presence while allowing the Abraham Lincoln to leave the region. Aircraft carriers are among the US Navy’s most important military assets. They function as mobile bases at sea, carrying fighter aircraft, helicopters and other equipment capable of supporting operations far from US territory. Their mobility allows Washington to maintain airpower without relying entirely on land-based facilities in countries near a conflict zone. New carrier presence draws attention The arrival of the George Washington comes at a particularly sensitive moment. With tensions between Washington and Tehran remaining high and military operations continuing, the movement of a US carrier is likely to attract close attention from regional governments and military planners. The Navy’s immediate objective is understood to be maintaining an uninterrupted carrier presence rather than creating a completely new deployment structure. Still, the rotation highlights the pressures created by prolonged wartime deployments. For the United States, keeping powerful naval assets in the region provides strategic flexibility. For sailors aboard the Abraham Lincoln, however, the arrival of the George Washington could finally offer a long-awaited chance to return home and recover after one of the carrier’s most demanding deployments.

    Islamiat tops Grade 9, 10 failure list

    The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Peshawar has released the results of the 2026 annual examinations for Grades 9 and 10. The results show that Islamiat was the subject in which the highest number of students failed in both classes. According to the official statistics, a total of 97,950 students appeared in the Grade 9 annual examinations. Out of these, 57,847 students successfully passed and were promoted to Grade 10. The remaining students could not qualify for promotion after failing to meet the required passing criteria. The examination data also highlighted students’ performance across different subjects. Among all the subjects, Islamiat recorded the highest failure rate, making it the most challenging subject for students in both Grade 9 and Grade 10 this year. The results have drawn attention to the need for improved teaching methods and better academic support in the subject. Education experts believe schools, teachers, and parents should work together to identify the reasons behind the poor performance and help students strengthen their understanding of Islamiat before future examinations. The BISE Peshawar annual examination results provide an overview of students’ academic performance across the province and are expected to help education authorities assess areas where additional support and reforms may be required to improve overall learning outcomes.

    Injection marks found on woman who died at Lahore …

    Medical board sources have revealed that injection marks were found on the arm and wrist of one of the two women who died at Township Police Station in Lahore. According to sources, around three and a half hours passed between the time the women were brought to the police station and their deaths. The sources said there was no significant difference in the post-mortem reports of the two women. The exact cause of death, however, has not yet been established. Police sources said the two women were not searched after being brought to the police station. They added that no female police personnel were present when the women were brought to the station. According to sources, both women were brought to the police station following a call made to emergency helpline 15. They reportedly remained seated near the station’s muharrir for around two hours. The muharrir was preparing to send the women to the female lock-up when the situation changed, sources said. Police officials said a case had been registered and the women were subsequently handed over to the investigation wing. They were reportedly being prepared for transfer to jail when both women collapsed. Sources further said there was no CCTV camera installed in the room of the investigation wing where the women were present. Police said female officers assigned to the station were deployed on duty at Data Darbar at the time. Officials maintained that women are searched before being placed in the female lock-up. Meanwhile, medical experts have suggested that the women may have died after consuming or being given a poisonous substance. Experts said the actual cause of death can be determined through forensic examination of samples collected during the investigation. The deaths have raised questions about the circumstances in which the women died while in police custody. Authorities are expected to rely on forensic evidence, post-mortem findings and other available evidence to establish the exact cause of death.
