Pakistan Pacer Under Fire for Slamming Politician's Presence at Start of Closed-Doors Cricket Game
Naseem Shah faces a show-cause notice from the Pakistan Cricket Board for a deleted tweet about Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz, amid claims his account was hacked.
- On Friday, the Pakistan Cricket Board issued a show-cause notice to fast bowler Naseem Shah for "violating the terms of his central contract" following a deleted social media post that appeared to criticize Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
- During Thursday's Pakistan Super League opening ceremony at Gaddafi Stadium, Naseem's account quote-tweeted a clip of Nawaz, asking, "Why is she treated like the Queen at Lord's?" Shah later claimed his account was "recently hacked."
- The PCB stated that any "public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to the Board, any of its officials or sponsors or policies" is prohibited under its disciplinary code. The board has adopted an increasingly strong position on political expression among cricketers.
- Shah is required to provide a response to the notice before the board determines further action. Despite the investigation, he remains set to represent Rawalpindi Pindiz against Peshawar Zalmi this Saturday, March 28.
- The tournament is being held behind closed doors due to Pakistan's fuel shortage amid the West Asia crisis; this austerity measure has restricted the premier domestic tournament to Lahore and Karachi.
