Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lifted a fine it imposed on batsman Azam Khan for displaying the Palestine flag on his bat in a National T20 tournament match played in Karachi on Sunday.
Karachi Whites player Azam Khan was fined 50 per cent of his match fee by officials for violating PCB’s code of conduct during the National T20 Cup match against Lahore Blues.
Azam Khan violated Article 2.4 of the PCB’s Code of Conduct, failing to adhere to the code of conduct despite being directed to do so by an umpire.
It should be noted that players and team officials are not permitted to wear and display any such item or convey personal messages through their equipment, subject to the approval of the player or Team Officials Association, and the PCB Cricket Operations Department’s prior approval is required.
