Lahore Fines Afridi $3500 for Breaching Hotel Security Protocol in the PSL

Punjab police allege Lahore Qalandars players ignored security refusals to allow four unauthorised visitors into their hotel room for three hours during the Pakistan Super League.

  • Punjab Police accused Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Shah Afridi and teammate Sikandar Raza of a "serious breach of established security protocols" at their team hotel on Saturday night, according to reports on Monday.
  • A letter addressed to PSL CEO Salman Naseer alleges Afridi and Raza "disregarded the directives and forcefully escorted" four unauthorized visitors "despite resistance from on-duty security personnel" on Saturday night.
  • Addressing the incident, Raza claimed he was unaware of new security protocols barring family visits, stating "he did not force anyone" during the encounter with his relatives and friends.
  • On Monday, Lahore imposed a 1 million rupee fine on Afridi, clarifying the "matter arose from a misunderstanding rather than any deliberate attempt to violate established procedures."
  • Lahore reaffirmed its "commitment to strict adherence to standard operating procedures" while stating the incident was "overstated in public discourse" and amplified beyond its actual context.
