The board is considering disciplinary measures to address recent violations by certain celebrities
A report in the newspaper stated that to attend a meet-and-greet function in Dallas on the sidelines of the T20 World Cup 2024, some Pakistani players accepted an appearance fee as low as USD 2500 per person. It also stated that another event, 'A Night with Stars', was called off because of differences in payments made to the captain, Babar Azam, and other players. All these revelations are going to be analyzed during the post-mortem of the league-stage exit, following losses to tournament debutants USA and arch-rivals India.
Since December 2022 While the board has had four chairmen, none of the senior management-level officials have been moved or terminated.
The source added, "It is now becoming clear that if the players are today an indiscipline and careless lot, the blame for this falls on some of the senior management officials who have been patronizing them in many ways, including in the finalization of the central contracts last year.”
Adding to the drama is the rumor that the team is a divided house, with Babar and the fast bowler spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi at loggerheads over captaincy.
