Tariq is representing Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred Men's 2026 season of The Hundred after signing a £140,000 contract. The incident occurred during the match against Trent Rockets at Edgbaston, where Tim David gestured a throwing motion toward the on-field umpires after Tariq dismissed him.
"Sunil Narine called me and spoke with me for about half an hour. He said, 'Don't respond to the gestures they're making. Just keep doing what you're doing.' He also said, 'They're behaving like this because they can't figure you out or get the better of you right now. That's why they're acting this way.'"
