The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Monday fined fast bowler Naseem Shah Rs20 million after he was found to have breached various clauses of his Central Contract. 

The PCB while announcing the outcomes of disciplinary committee proceedings pertaining to breaches of various clauses of Naseem Shah's Central Contract and the PCB Social Media Guidelines, noted that an unconditional apology was tendered by Naseem.  

It was noted that Naseem Shah's social media adviser has already been terminated by Naseem and shall be blacklisted by the PCB from associating with any player falling under the PCB's jurisdiction.

The PCB had issued a show cause notice dated 27th March 2026 outlining the violations and sought a response from Naseem.

A personal hearing was then held by a three-member Disciplinary Committee on 30th March 2025 after Naseem Shah's reply had been received and reviewed.

The PCB remains committed to upholding professional standards, contractual obligations and the integrity of the game.
