The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has fined fast bowler Naseem Shah Rs20 million for violating clauses of his central contract and media policy following a controversial social media post. The post, which briefly appeared on his account, criticised the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz at a Pakistan Super League match before being deleted and attributed to a management team error. After reviewing his response and apology, a disciplinary committee concluded that contract violations had occurred, leading to the penalty. The incident has sparked debate around professional conduct, athlete expression, and the growing scrutiny of social media use by public figures in Pakistan.
