Pakistan players told to behave
BBC SPORT | Cricket | International Teams | Pakistan | Pakistan players told to behave
Pakistan players have been warned about their conduct following an incident in the one-day series against Sri Lanka.
Mohammad Asif was reprimanded by match referee Javagal Srinath for taunting Mahela Jayawardene after dismissing the Sri Lankan skipper in the third game.
Manager Talat Ali said the Pakistan board had a new discipline code to punish players for dissent or sledging.
"The Asif incident was unnecessary. The players have been told they must behave immaculately on the field," he said.
"Since the International Cricket Council (ICC) code of conduct is tough, players have been told to maintain discipline.
"Players who do not will also face penalties from the Pakistan Cricket Board as it has decided to deal with disciplinary matters on its own.
"They have been reminded they are ambassadors of their country and such childish actions not only affect their image but also that of Pakistan cricket."
Sri Lanka won the final international on Tuesday but Pakistan had already clinched the series by taking the first two matches.
