Asia Cup 2025: PCB files official complaint with ICC against Arshdeep Singh for his 'obscene gestures' ahead of India vs Pakistan final - Reports

PCB has lodged a complaint against Arshdeep Singh for his obscene gestures towards crowd during India vs Pakistan Super Four clash.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filed an official complaint against Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh with the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his ‘obscene gestures’ towards crowd during the India vs Pakistan clash in Super Four round of Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday, September 21. As per the reports in Geo News, PCB has demanded strict action against India pacer for his actions.

In their statement, PCB stated that Arshdeep’s actions have brought cricket into disrepute and he has violated ICC Code of Conduct with his immoral gestures towards the spectators. PCB also urged ICC to impose strict action in line with disciplinary procedures for players who violate ICC Code of Conduct.

Notably, a video of Arshdeep went viral on social media, where he was seen making some gestures towards the crowd after India’s victory over Pakistan in the Super Four round. His gestures came in response to Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf’s gesture of “6-0 and airplane crash” at Indian fans. When the Pakistan fans mocked Arshdeep with the same gestures, he came up with a strong reply.
