The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja has taken notice and claimed that an investigation is being conducted as to why the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy finalist teams were kicked out of the local five-star hotel.

Speaking to the media after the meeting with the investors, Ramiz said that the players, support staff, and coaches were deeply saddened and offended by their expulsion from the hotel.

The teams that were booted out not only comprised of local cricketers but also Test cricketers who will be featuring in the final of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.

According to sources, the hotel management informed that both teams had bookings till December 22 and following that, the teams did not want to leave.

Although teams participating in the domestic tournament were already accused of breaching the Covid-19 protocols, this development also ended the bio-secure bubble for both teams who were stranded in the parking and the lobby of the hotel.
