Shehzad, Akmal, Junaid Khan fined for misconduct

Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Usman Shinwari and Junaid Khan, among three others, have been fined by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for offences made during the ongoing Pakistan Cup at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad.

The PCB has imposed a fine on seven players after finding them guilty of breaching the board’s code of conduct.

Shehzad, along with Muhammad Javed Malik, was fined 40% of his match fee after the fiery batsman was found to breach level 1, clause 2.1.4 of the PCB code of conduct when he was seen abusing his batting partner following a run out during the match against KP.

In the other match between Punjab and Federal Area on May 1, Kamran Akmal and Iftikhar Ahmed were fined Rs30,000 and given a one-match ban for slow over rate.

In the same match, Usama Mir and Iftikhar were reprimanded for using batting gloves which are not approved and authorized by the PCB.

Junaid, Shinwari and Malik were reprimanded for breaching the PCB’s clothing code of conduct after the trio were found not wearing the official helmet.
