ISLAMABAD - Pakistani team’s captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed lands in trouble ovet his racist comments against South African all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo during the second innings of the second ODI on Tuesday.
The comments were caught on the stump mics in the 37th over as the South African batsman inside-edged a ball to deep fine leg. He taunted, saying:
‘*Abay kaalay! teri ammi aaj kahan baithee hain? Kya parhwa kay aya hai aaj?’*
The commentator Mike Haysman asked Ramiz Raja about what Sarfaraz was saying. Ramiz chuckles, saying:
‘Difficult really to translate that. It’s a big long sentence’. link

The racist remarks do not bode well for Sarfaraz as he risks being penalized under the International Cricket Council (ICC) Anti-racism code or code of conduct for player behavior, depending on the match officials.
The Anti-racism code defines an offense as:
“Any conduct (whether through the use of language, gestures or otherwise) which is likely to offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate, threaten, disparage or vilify any reasonable person in the position of a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee, Umpire Support Personnel or any other person (including a spectator) on the basis of their race, religion, culture, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin”.
The all-rounder was later crowned man of the match for his brilliant all-round performance, including his career-best 4/22 and 69* to steer his team home in an enthralling low-scoring clash.
