Pakistan allrounder Khushdil Shah has been fined 50% of his match fees for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during their first T20I against New Zealand in Christchurch.

Khushdil has also been handed three demerit points. This was his first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred during the eighth over of Pakistan's innings, when Khushdil hit the third ball from Foulkes past mid-on. He ran into the bowler, who had his back turned towards him, with his left shoulder. The umpire had a word with Khushdil after the batters ran two.

Since Khushdil accepted the sanctions levelled by the umpires
