An unnamed Pakistan player was fined for misbehaving with a female staff member at a hotel in Kandy, Sri Lanka, where the team was staying for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches. The incident occurred before Pakistan’s match against Sri Lanka and has caused a stir within the Pakistan Cricket Board and team circles.
Sources revealed that the player’s misconduct involved a female housekeeping staff member who called for help when the situation escalated. The hotel staff intervened, and the matter was reported to Pakistan team manager Navaid Cheema. The player was subsequently fined for his behavior by the team manager.
Despite winning the match against Sri Lanka, Pakistan missed out on the semifinals due to net run-rate calculations and returned home in groups. The player involved is expected to face further disciplinary action from the Pakistan Cricket Board for his actions.
Reports indicate a history of misconduct by Pakistani players and backroom staff during tours. Notably, young batter Haider Ali faced legal issues in England last year, while team masseur Malang Ali was previously fined for misbehavior on a tour of Malaysia.
