When the bat did not work even against a weak team like UAE, this Pakistani player took out his anger on the same bat and broke it by slamming it hard. After this, the player is being criticized, and he can also get punishment from the ICC.

Pakistan cricket team has a long history, where its players become a cause of embarrassment due to their behavior during the match. There have been many stories of Pakistani players fighting with the players of the other team, sometimes misbehaving with the fans and sometimes arguing among themselves. Anger is always on the nose of Pakistani players, even if the mistake is their own. Such bad temper was now shown by Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Harris, whose bat did not score runs, so in anger he broke the same bat by slamming it in the middle of the field.

Before Asia Cup 2025, Harris got a chance to play in the Pakistani team in the T20 series in UAE itself. The Pakistani team management kept faith in Harris who was going through a bad form for quite some time and gave him a chance in the first two matches of the tri-series. But he failed miserably in both the matches. Against Afghanistan, he scored only 15 runs in 13 balls, while against a weak team like UAE, he returned to the pavilion after scoring just 1 run in 2 balls.

Harris broke the bat as soon as he was out

In the match held in Sharjah on Saturday, 30 August, UAE's fast bowler Junaid Siddiqui dismissed Harris in no time and sent him back to the pavilion. Harris played a shot towards third man and was expecting to score 6 runs but it did not happen and the fielder took an easy catch on the boundary. Then what, Harris's anger reached the seventh sky and this player vented this anger on his bat, due to which he reached international cricket.

The 24-year-old Pakistani cricketer slammed his bat in anger on the field, due to which the bat and its handle got separated. The video of this act of the Pakistani batsman went viral on social media and he is being abused a lot. Actually, Harris has been a flop for the last 8 consecutive innings and has been able to score only 37 runs in 42 balls.

Will he get a severe punishment from ICC now?

With this act, Harris has not only made a mockery of himself, but has also created problems for himself. Actually, it is clear in the laws of cricket that no player can insult or forcibly damage any equipment i.e. sports equipment. Just like players are punished for breaking a racket in tennis, similarly in cricket too, ICC punishes for slamming or breaking equipment like bat, ball or helmet. Action can be taken against Harris too and he may have to pay a fine.
