Sources said Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Shanawaz Dahani in particular were reminded that it was not their job to tweet who should be Pakistan’s captain.
The PCB’s new Cricket Control Board has clarified that centrally contracted players must abide by the terms of their contract and that breach of this will not be tolerated.
Sources said Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Shanawaz Dahani in particular were reminded that it was not their job to tweet who should be Pakistan’s captain.
Shaheen and Harris have publicly tweeted their support for Babar as captain and even warned that no one should consider replacing him after he lost 3-0 to England earlier this month.
However, Shaheen deleted the tweet after the new board, including chairman Najam Sethi, told the players that their job was to focus on cricket and perform well as a country’s professional.
“Sethi has sent a clear message that no player will tolerate any more social pranks or major contract breaches.
Pakistan Ramiz, who was ousted by the Pakistani government as chairman of his Cricket Board (PCB), gave his players a lot of freedom during his tenure and allowed a lot of interaction on social media.
However, players were told to avoid commenting on matters that were the domain of the Cricket Board only.
