After a thorough investigation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to reverse the sanction that was issued to Azam Khan.
It has been reported that Azam Khan disregarded instructions from an umpire and violated Article 2.4 of the PCB’s Code of Conduct.
“Azam Khan’s 50% fine imposed by match officials has been reviewed and waived off by the Pakistan Cricket Board,” the PCB stated in a brief press statement.
Azam was judged to have repeatedly disregarded an umpire’s command or directive during a match, which is a violation of Article 2.4 of the PCB Code of Conduct for Players and Players Support Personnel, according to the press statement.
Azam Khan, a player for the Karachi Whites, was fined 50% of the match money by match officials for breaking the PCB’s code of conduct during the National T20 Cup match at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi versus the Lahore Blues.
It should be emphasised that neither players nor team officials are allowed to wear and exhibit any such items or use their equipment to send personal messages.
Furthermore, the PCB Cricket Operations and Department, as well as the player or Team Officials Association, must first approve this.
Fans slammed PCB for its regulations on Twitter the same day, particularly in regards to players supporting Palestine.
Azam Khan was judged to have repeatedly disregarded an umpire’s command or directive during a match, in violation of Article 2.4 of the PCB Code of Conduct for Players and Players Support Personnel.
The board’s statement continued, “Players and team officials are not permitted to wear, display, or otherwise convey personal messages on their equipment unless approved in advance by both the PCB Cricket Operations Department and the player or team official’s cricket association.”
Following a social media outcry from cricket fans over the player’s punishment, the PCB made its judgement.
