Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah has reportedly been fined what is believed to be the largest fine in the history of Pakistani cricket for posting a post on his social media account criticising Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, Naseem Shah has been fined 20 million Pakistani rupees (approximately US$72,000), which is equivalent to almost eight months of his average contract salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to ESPN Cricinfo, the fine is believed to be the largest ever imposed on a Pakistani cricketer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He deleted the controversial social media post shortly after it was posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naseem Shah later claimed that his social media account had been hacked and that he was not responsible for the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite that explanation, the Pakistan Cricket Board has taken disciplinary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was also reported that the Pakistan Cricket Board has banned Naseem Shah’s social media advisor from any cricket-related activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naseem Shah is one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers and holds a central contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident becomes one of the highest-profile disciplinary actions involving a Pakistani international cricketer in recent years.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
