Pakistan’s Naseem Shah under fire after criticism of politician’s PSL visit 10h ago

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a show-cause notice to fast bowler Naseem Shah for criticizing the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz at the opening match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in Lahore. The tournament is being played behind closed doors due to economic conditions and fuel price hikes, with fans barred from attending. Shah questioned Nawaz's VIP treatment at Gaddafi Stadium on X, an account he later claimed was hacked, though he deleted the post. The PCB stated Shah violated his central contract and media policy, and will decide on further action after reviewing his response, drawing parallels to a previous fine issued to Aamer Jamal for displaying a political slogan.
