Farooqi was penalised for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
The violation falls under Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during an international match.”
The incident occurred in the fifth over of Zimbabwe’s innings on Thursday when Farooqi showed dissent after an LBW appeal against Craig Ervine was turned down.
Farooqi gestured for a review despite the absence of DRS in the match.
In addition, one demerit point has been added to Farooqi’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
Farooqi admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Andy Pycroft, and levelled by on-field umpires Chris Brown and
Percival Sizara, third umpire Langton Rusere and fourth umpire Iknow Chabi.
