Pakistan’s star fast bowler Naseem Shah is in trouble. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has imposed a fine of two crore Pakistani rupees on Naseem Shah. Naseem Shah has been fined Pakistani rupees 2 crore for violating the rules of PCB’s central contract. Naseem had tweeted on his social media account about the presence of Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam in the cricket program.

In this post, the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz at the inaugural match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) was criticized. The post, made during the first match of the 2026 PSL, satirized the royal welcome given to Maryam at the Gaddafi Stadium. Maryam is the daughter of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and niece of current Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

In reference to Maryam, Naseem Shah had posted, “Why is she being treated like the Queen of Lord’s?” The incident occurred after the PCB had banned fans from PSL matches in Lahore and Karachi to follow fuel-saving and government expenditure-cutting measures in the wake of the Gulf War.

The PCB announced that its disciplinary committee had found Naseem guilty of violating the terms of his central contract and not following social media guidelines. Naseem was issued a show cause notice on March 27, soon after Maryam reached Gaddafi Stadium as the chief guest at the inaugural match of PSL.

The tweet was quickly deleted and it was claimed that the account was hacked, but the PCB did not accept this explanation.
The board said that Naseem had replied to the show cause notice and had also tendered an unconditional apology for his behaviour, but the disciplinary committee found him guilty of indiscipline. Naseem’s social media advisor has already been removed and ‘blacklisted’ by the PCB.

A big controversy of ‘ball tampering’ has come to light in the Pakistan Super League 2026 (PSL 2026) being played these days. In this controversy, only the name of Pakistani batsman Fakhar Zaman, who is playing for Lahore Qalandars in the tournament, came up. Now the names of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have also come up in this controversy.

Let us tell you that the ‘ball tampering’ controversy took place in the sixth match of the tournament, which was played between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings on 29 March. A video surfaced from the match, in which Fakhar Zaman was seen tampering with the ball. This incident happened before the last over of the match, when Karachi, which was batting, needed 14 runs to win.

Before the over, Fakhar takes the ball and gives it to Haris. During this time the umpire suspects that the ball has been tampered with. The umpire asks for the ball and imposes a penalty of 5 runs on Lahore Qalandars. Now 9 runs were left in the last over for Karachi to win. The team scored this run in just 3 balls.

Kamran Akmal declared all three guilty

Speaking on a Pakistani TV, former Pakistani player Basit Ali said that Fakhar’s game is over, as is visible in the evidence. I think they will be fined heavily.

Basit Ali said, “It’s over for Fakhar Zaman. Since the evidence has come out, I’m sure that he’ll be fined a huge amount.”

Giving his opinion on this issue, Kamran Akmal said, “Not only Fakhar Zaman, captain Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf are also guilty of ball tampering. They can also be punished. Now it will be interesting to see what decision is taken on this matter and what penalty is imposed on whom.

low scoring match

Talking about the match, Lahore Qalandars won the toss and decided to bat first. The team scored only 128/9 runs on the board in 20 overs. Karachi Kings team, which came on the field for run chase, won in 19.3 overs with 4 wickets remaining.

Shaheen Afridi Behaves Rudely With A Journalist: Pakistan Super League 2026 is starting from today i.e. 26th March, but even before that a big ruckus was seen in the press conference. A day before the start of this league, a press conference was organized at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, in which the captains of all the teams participated. Shaheen Shah Afridi, who captained Lahore Qalandars, was also present in it. During this press conference, after hearing a question, Shaheen lost his temper and misbehaved with the journalist. The video of this incident is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.

Question asked to Shadab, Babar and Shaheen in press conference

During the press conference, journalists asked questions one after the other to Shadab Khan, Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi. Shadab Khan was first asked whether he is being seen as the future T20 International captain of Pakistan. Would they like to further strengthen their claim with their performance in PSL? After this Babar was asked whether his strike rate in T20 is bad. How much will PSL help you to prove that you are a T20 player? After this Shaheen was asked that he should be the captain of T20 International and not of ODI.

Shaheen Afridi misbehaved with the journalist

Shadab Khan and Babar Azam looked calm on the question asked by the journalist, but Shaheen Shah Afridi looked angry. Shadab Khan turned on his mic to answer the question asked, but then Shaheen interrupted and said in response to the question, ‘Look, right now we are playing PSL, so whatever question you have, ask it in the context of PSL. When we play for Pakistan cricket, then if you ask all this, you will get a good answer.

The new season of Pakistan Super League is starting from March 26, but PSL is facing setbacks after setbacks. Recently, Zimbabwe’s 6 and a half feet tall bowler Blessing Muzarabani rejected the PSL contract and joined IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Sri Lankan cricket team captain Dasun Shanaka is also close to kicking the PSL contract and entering the Rajasthan Royals team.

According to Cricbuzz, a Rajasthan Royals official said that they are very close to signing Dasun Shanaka and some final formalities are left. Shanaka will be replacing Sam Curran in the Rajasthan team, who has been ruled out of IPL 2026 due to injury. Shanaka remained unsold in the mini auction held in December last year. After that, Lahore Qalandars bought him in the PSL auction by bidding Rs 75 lakh.

Why only Shanaka?

Rajasthan Royals targeting Dasun Shanaka is not a surprising decision. He is also an all-rounder and can replace Sam Curran very well. But the main reason for this is Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara, who comes from Sri Lanka. Vikram Rathore was the batting coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team during the T20 World Cup 2026. Rathore is now the assistant coach with Sangakkara in the Rajasthan team. Therefore both are well aware of Shanaka’s style of playing.

PCB has threatened

Players are continuously leaving PSL and coming to Indian Premier League, this has also increased the concern of Pakistan Cricket Board. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi told the media that legal action can be taken against those players who have broken the PSL contract.

There is panic in Pakistan because of the Indian Premier League. Actually, some of the players who were supposed to play in PSL have come to IPL. Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, Mohsin Naqvi is very upset about this. He has openly threatened the players going to IPL.

Earlier, Zimbabwe’s Blessing Muzarabani was to play for Islamabad United, but he has replaced Mustafizur Rahman in Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Sri Lankan cricket team captain Dasun Shanaka has become the second player who has left the PSL contract and joined the IPL. He will join Rajasthan Royals. Let us remind you that last season PCB had taken action against South African cricketer Corbin Bosch, who had joined Mumbai Indians.

Open threat from PCB Chairman

During a conversation with the media on Sunday, Mohsin Naqvi said, “As far as international players are concerned, see which players have come to play in the PSL this time. Yes, 2-3 players have left and we are preparing to take legal action against them.”

This time IPL and PSL are being organized at the same time. On the clash between the two leagues, Mohsin Naqvi said that the clash with IPL will not have much impact because the world is full of talented players. Despite IPL, many international players have come to play in PSL.

Mohsin Naqvi told that the matches of PSL 2026 will be played in empty grounds. He cited the ongoing war in the Middle East as the reason. PSL will start from 26th March and the final will be played on 3rd May. On the other hand, IPL 2026 is going to start from March 28, but BCCI has not yet released the complete schedule, hence the date of the final has not been revealed.

Babar Azam’s performance in the T20 World Cup 2026 was disappointing, he could score only 5 runs in the important match against India. Even in the Super-8 match against England, he was out after scoring only 25 runs. In the group stage, he was able to score only 15 runs against a team like Netherlands.

After Gudkesh left PSL, such claims started being made on social media that he can now be seen playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL. He can replace Sri Lankan spin all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga in Lucknow.

IPL vs PSL Net Worth: The biggest franchise leagues of India and Pakistan are going to come face to face in the year 2026. The 11th season of Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) will start from March 26 and IPL 2026 will start just two days after that. This time the IPL and PSL tournaments will be played at the same time, due to which the viewership of Pakistan Super League in particular may be affected. But do you know how much difference there is in the brand value of these two leagues of India and Pakistan.

IPL vs PSL

First of all, if we talk about Indian Premier League, it is one of the richest sports leagues in the world. It was started in the year 2008. According to a report published in Financial Express, in 2025, the brand value of IPL is 18.5 billion US dollars. This amount is approximately equal to Rs 1.56 lakh crore.

On the other hand, Pakistan’s PSL appears like a beggar in front of it. Pakistan Super League was started in 2016 and its brand value is said to be between US$150-200 million. Even if $200 million is considered, the brand value of PSL will be around Rs 1,840 crore. If these figures are considered as the basis, then IPL is 92.5 times ahead of Pakistan Super League in terms of brand value.

how to earn money

The biggest source of income for franchise leagues like IPL and PSL are broadcasting rights. In the same year, the broadcasting rights of Pakistan Super League were sold to Walee Technologies for about 93 million dollars for 4 years. On the other hand, the broadcasting rights of the Indian Premier League for 2023-27 are with Viacom Digital and Disney Star, which they bought for about Rs 48,390 crore. PSL is far behind in this matter also. Apart from this, the league also earns a good amount from sponsorship, ticket sales and franchise fees.
