The PCB may impose sanctions on players found guilty of forming cliques or violating team discipline.
LAHORE: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-August 2nd, 2024) The Pakistan cricket board (PCB) has decided to take a stricter action against the players’ discipline violations during the 2024 T20 World Cup and recent series, sources revealed on Friday.
According to the sources, the PCB will conduct a thorough review of team dynamics and player conduct leading up to the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
A committee is being established to assess the reports from head coach Gary Kirsten and team manager Wahab Riaz. It is anticipated that a former captain will chair this committee.
Based on the committee’s recommendations, the PCB may impose sanctions on players found guilty of forming cliques or violating team discipline.
The reports suggested that disciplinary issues involving Shaheen Shah Afridi during the World Cup also surfaced where he allegedly displayed poor behavior.
Despite these reports, team manager Wahab Riaz is said to have overlooked Afridi’s infractions.
There were also reports of players speaking negatively about each other, which contributed to a disruptive atmosphere in the dressing room.
The sources indicated that Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq exhibited undue favoritism towards certain players, who subsequently underperformed.
