LAHORE (Kashmir English): The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has imposed a fine of Rs5 million on each member of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad following what it described as an underwhelming campaign in the event.
According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, the penalties were not related to disciplinary breaches but were imposed solely on the basis of the players’ on-field performance.
The fines were reportedly imposed after the Green Shirts group-stage defeat to India by 61-runs.
“Players were informed that the penalties could have been waived had the team progressed to the tournament’s semi-finals. While the PCB has previously sanctioned players, such actions have typically been linked to disciplinary matters rather than performance alone, making the move unusual.”

Pakistan was eliminated from the event despite securing a narrow five-run victory over Sri Lanka in the Super Eight match in Kandy.
The Men in Green failed to register a win against any major side during the tournament.
