PCB issues show-cause notice to Naseem Shah for ‘violating terms of central contract, press directive’
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a show-cause notice to fast bowler Naseem Shah for “violating the terms of [his] central contract as well as the press directive and regulations”, according to a press release.
The press release, issued by the PCB on Friday, stated that the show-cause notice to Naseem, who also plays for the Pakistan Super League team Rawalpindiz, had been served in accordance with the board’s disciplinary directive structure.
“Naseem Shah is required to provide a response within the stipulated time,” the press release stated, without specifying the date by when Naseem was required to submit his response.
It further stated that upon receipt and evaluate of Naseem’s response, the PCB would “decide on any further action in line with the regulations”.
“The PCB remains committed to upholding professional standards, contractual obligations, and the integrity of the game,” the press release read.
While the press release did not specify the exact breaches or the events that led to the issuance of a show-cause notice to Naseem, the progress came a day after the opening night of the 11th season of the HBL Pakistan Super League, where Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz was also present, regarding which a post had appeared on Naseem’s X account.
