Pakistan Cricketers Afridi and Raza Accused of Breaching Security Protocols Ahead of PSL Game
Punjab police flagged Lahore Qalandars players for escorting four unauthorized visitors into the team hotel, prompting PCB investigations into fines and match bans for breach of protocols.
- On Saturday night, Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Shah Afridi and Zimbabwe all-rounder Sikandar Raza breached hotel security by escorting four visitors to a room despite resistance from on-duty security personnel.
- The Pakistan Super League , organized by the Pakistan Cricket Board, operates under strict security protocols amid regional conflict; over 6,000 police personnel monitor venues due to persistent threats.
- Police reported that team officials had previously declined permission for the visitors "in accordance with the security protocols in place," yet the players disregarded these directives.
- PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and board officials are investigating the incident; sources suggest the players face potential match bans and heavy fines for violating isolation SOPs.
- Maintaining the tournament's "international brand" remains essential, as Naqvi stated earlier this week that strict compliance is necessary to protect the league's continuity.
