Pakistan opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad has found himself in trouble again after he was fined for inappropriate behavior during the ongoing Pakistan Cup.

Shehzad, who is leading the Balochistan side at the 50-overs domestic tournament, was fined for misbehaving with fellow Balochistan mate Rizwan Hussain, during a match against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on April 30 in Faisalabad.

As per media reports, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa batting first set a target of 373 for Balochistan to victory. Shehzad started off well, while chasing the target but was given run out on 72-run after a confusion with batsman Hussain at the other end.

On this occasion, Shehzad misbehaved with Hussain using inappropriate language, on which the umpire complained to match referee.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's fast bowler Usman Shinwari too found himself in a similar situation, after the pacer, playing for Federal Administered Tribal Areas, took five wickets for 51 runs, but during the match Shinwari misbehaved while dismissing a batman.

Afterwards, the fast bowler was fined 50 percent of the match fee.
