Pakistan's Irfan suspended for three matches

NEWDEHLI: Pakistan defender Muhammad Irfan was Tuesday suspended for three matches for violent play during a classification game against South Africa in the Commonwealth Games field hockey.

He was suspended for bringing down South African forward Marvin Harper in an ill-tempered clash at the Major Dhyan Chand stadium.

Irfan was charged under a level 2 offence of FIH's code of conduct which deals with physical assault without causing serious injury. He was also red-carded by the on-field umpires for the rough tackle.

Pakistan have no more matches left at the Games, having finished sixth after losing to South Africa 3-2 via a golden goal.AGENCIES
