Asia Cup 2025: Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has been fined 30 percent of his match fee for his comments after the Asia Cup group league match against Pakistan when he alluded to the military skirmish between the two countries in May, the tournament organisers said on Friday.

Pakistan had filed a complaint against Suryakumar with the ICC for making political comments after he dedicated his team's win over the arch foes on September 14 to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian armed forces.

However, it is learnt that India have appealed against the ICC's verdict.

"The ICC will not issue any official release on the sanctions till end of the tournament," a source said.

It could come on Monday, while the tournament final is scheduled to be played here on Sunday.

Suryakumar pleaded not guilty to the charge and was apparently told not to make any statement that could be construed as political in the remainder of the tournament.

The India skipper's hearing was conducted by ICC match referee Richie Richardson.

Tensions between the two sides have been running high, starting with India's refusal to do a traditional handshake with Pakistani players at the time of the toss and after the games as a gesture of solidarity with the Pahalgam victims.
