WTC Final 2025: After the historic victory against Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC 2025), the South African cricket team celebrated vigorously on the field itself. During this time, the team captain Temba Bawuma was seen keeping the trophy of victory throughout the time and was not ready to keep it on the ground, while the player of the match, Aden Markram did something which has become a topic of discussion.

Soon after the victory, African players reached the audience gallery and started drinking a bottle of beer from a person present there. The entire scene was seen by the audience present in the stadium and in a short time its video also went viral on social media. After this, questions arose whether a cricketer can drink alcohol on the field or during the match? And can he be punished for this?

What did Markram say in a press conference

When asked questions about this at the press conference after the WTC final, Markram said, “That person was my school friend. He gave me voice, but there was a lot of noise. Then he called me nearby.

Will Markram be punished?

Because this incident is after the end of the match, when Markram went to his friend and drank beer during the celebration, so it will not be considered a violation of the ICC rules. Yes, some people may definitely call it unfair conduct because drinking beer on the field in front of thousands of spectators can be considered against the spirit of the game, but no response has been given by the ICC and South Africa Cricket Board (CSA) so far, which indicates that no disciplinary action will be taken against Markram.

The rules regarding alcohol are different in every country

The rules of ICC vary according to every country and situation. In countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, drinking and selling alcohol in the stadium is strictly forbidden. At the same time, the audience in England, New Zealand and South Africa has no such prohibition. The viewer is allowed to drink beer up to a limit, but by the ICC Players are not allowed to drink alcohol during the game. If a player is found drinking beer in the field, dressing room or dugout, he can get punishment like warning, fine or suspension.
