Multan Sultans' team manager suspended for code breach.

LAHORE -- Multan SultAans' team manager Haider Azhar has been handed a one-match suspension for a Level 3 breach he committed during the final of the the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) final at the Gaddafi Stadium last Saturday.

The breach relates to the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

'I hope this sanction will act as a deterrent and every player and plaAyer support personnel will continue to respect the umpiring decisions and avoid unnecessary provocations.'

'Haider was found to have violated article 2.13, which relates to personal abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee during a PSL match,' a PCB annouAncement made on Thursday said.

'The incident occurred after the end of the PSL 8 final when Haider confronted the on-field umpires Alex Wharf and Rashid Riaz and abused Wharf. Haider contested the sanction imposed by match referee Roshan Mahanama, but it was upheld after a hearing took place in the PCBBoard Room,' the announcement added.
