The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday imposed a fine of Rs20 million on fast bowler Naseem Shah for violating multiple clauses of his central contract and the board’s social media guidelines.

Following the submission of his reply, a three-member disciplinary committee conducted a personal hearing to review the matter.

After evaluating the explanations and evidence, the committee concluded that Naseem had committed violations of his contractual obligations.
The board noted that the player had tendered an unconditional apology, which was taken into account when determining the penalty.
The PCB further said that Naseem had already terminated his social media adviser, who will now be blacklisted and barred from working with any players under the board’s jurisdiction.
Reaffirming its stance, the PCB said it remains committed to maintaining professional standards, ensuring compliance with contractual terms, and safeguarding the integrity of the game.
