The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the outcomes of disciplinary committee proceedings pertaining to breaches of various clauses of Naseem Shah’s central contract and the board’s social media guidelines.
The PCB had issued a show-cause notice dated 27th March 2026 outlining the violations and sought a response from Naseem.
A personal hearing was then held by a three-member disciplinary committee on 30th March 2025 after Naseem’s reply had been received and reviewed.
Pursuant to the hearing and evaluation of Naseem’s submissions, the Committee has determined as follows:
Whilst noting the unconditional apology tendered, Naseem is found to have breached various clauses of his central contract and a fine of Rs20 million has been imposed.
It was noted that Naseem’s social media adviser has already been terminated by him and shall be blacklisted by the PCB from associating with any player falling under the PCB’s jurisdiction.
The PCB remains committed to upholding professional standards, contractual obligations and the integrity of the game.
