The Austrian Cricket Association (ACA) has offered an "unreserved apology" to the Israel Cricket Association (ICA) and the Israeli cricket team for any harm or offense caused ahead of their Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier A match on June 10.
While specific details of the incident remain undisclosed, the ICC confirmed that the ACA acted promptly to address the situation. Disciplinary measures have been taken against the player involved, following the ACA’s established processes.
The ICC facilitated a confidential conciliation process between the ACA and ICA, in line with its Anti-Discrimination Code. The resolution process was overseen by Paul Mortimer, an independent expert specializing in anti-discrimination and race relations.
The match took place in Spinaceto, Rome, as part of the Europe Qualifier A tournament, a pathway to the 2026 T20 World Cup. Austria emerged victorious, with Aqib Iqbal playing a key role, scoring an unbeaten 52 off 35 balls to secure a seven-wicket win over Israel.
