South Africa captain Graeme Smith and all-rounder Andrew Hall have been banned for misconduct and breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the second one-day international in Lahore last Sunday.

While Smith has been banned for one one-day international and fined 50 percent of his match fee while teammate Hall has been banned for one one-dayer and two Tests.

Pakistan's Yousuf Youhana has also been fined 50 per cent of his match fee by ICC match referee Clive Lloyd.

The penalties were imposed following a hearing in Rawalpindi on Friday evening.

ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed brought the charges based on video evidence of an incident that took place when Pakistan were batting during the second one-dayer between the two sides.

Having considered all of the evidence I have found all three players in breach of the ICC Code of Conduct," said Mr Lloyd.

Graeme Smith was found guilty of a Level 2 offence (CC 2.9) relating to the use of obscene or offensive language. Andrew Hall was found guilty of two breaches of the Code. The first was a Level 2 breach for inappropriate and deliberate physical contact (CC 2.5) for which he was banned for one ODI. The second was a Level 3 offence for conduct that brings the game into disrepute (C2) for which he has been banned for two Test matches.

There is no right of appeal for a Level 2 breach of the Code but there is a right of appeal for a Level 3 breach. If there is no appeal the bans apply consecutively with immediate effect.

Yousuf Youhana was found guilty of a Level 1 offence of bringing the game into disrepute (C2) and has been fined 50% of his match fee.

The ICC said Hall elbowed Youhana intentionally on his follow through as Youhana tried to complete a run.
