Arshdeep SINGH Handed Big Fine By ICC. Here's Why


The International Cricket Council (ICC) has deducted 15 per cent of Arshdeep Singh's match fees for the T20 World Cup 2026 final against New Zealand.

This comes after a heated spat between Arshdeep and NZ batter Daryl Mitchell during the game.

Tempers flared after a dot ball when Arshdeep threw the ball back and it ended up hitting Mitchell's thigh.

This led to an angry reaction from Mitchell, leading to umpires and India captain Suryakumar Yadav intervening.

According to the ICC, Arshdeep breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

It relates to "throwing a ball at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match".

After the match, Arshdeep apologised to Mitchell for the incident.
