PCB Fines Naseem Shah over Social Media Post
- On Monday, the Pakistan Cricket Board fined fast bowler Naseem Shah 20 million PKR for a sarcastic social media post, citing a breach of his Central Contract.
- Last week, Shah quote-tweeted a post of Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz at Gaddafi Stadium during the Pakistan Super League opening, asking, "Why is she treated like the Queen at Lord's?" before claiming his account was hacked.
- Appearing before a three-member disciplinary committee in Lahore on Monday, Shah tendered an unconditional apology, though the 20 million PKR penalty is more than 16 times higher than Aamer Jamal's fine last year.
- The fine equals approximately eight months of Shah's Central Contract salary; additionally, the PCB blacklisted his social media manager from associating with any player under the Board's jurisdiction.
- While Shah has taken 152 wickets for Pakistan across 20 test matches, 34 one-day internationals, and 37 T20s, the Board maintains strict media policy regulations amid the Pakistan Super League continuing behind closed doors.
