Pakistan Cricketer in Trouble After Alleged Misconduct with Female Hotel Staff in Sri Lanka at T20 World Cup: Report

The player was fined after an incident with hotel staff at the Golden Crown Hotel; the Pakistan Cricket Board may take further disciplinary action to set a precedent.

  • On Thursday, Telecom Asia Sport reported an unnamed Pakistan player was fined for allegedly misbehaving with a female housekeeping staff member at the Golden Crown Hotel in Kandy during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
  • During a routine housekeeping session, hotel staff say the female worker shouted for help, prompting security and staff to intervene and report to Pakistan team manager Navaid Cheema.
  • Hotel management demanded 'strong action', and to avoid legal escalation, Pakistan team manager Navaid Cheema apologised and imposed an immediate financial penalty on the accused player.
  • Following the team's return on Sunday and Monday, the accused player is expected to appear before the Pakistan Cricket Board Disciplinary Committee for possible further action.
  • Despite beating Sri Lanka, the Pakistan national cricket team’s misconduct record adds to broader concerns over discipline issues in overseas tours, as past incidents have also emerged.
