‘PCB saved Naseem Shah’s career, how many Indian players tweet on Rahul Gandhi?’

2 min readApr 1, 2026 11:43 AM IST Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has urged Naseem Shah to put the social media controversy behind him and warned that his pace has dropped alarmingly, saying the Pakistan Cricket Board had done the young fast bowler a significant favour by stopping short of a ban. Naseem was fined 20 million Pakistani rupees — roughly eight months’ salary — by the PCB after reportedly posting sarcastic tweets directed at Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, who was the chief guest at the PSL opening match at Gaddafi Stadium. The PCB found him guilty of multiple breaches of his central contract despite an unconditional apology. “The members of this committee and the chairman have saved his career,” Akmal said on the YouTube show Gameplan. “If he was banned, his career would have been ruined.” But Akmal reserved his sharper concern for Naseem’s cricket. “Where has the pace gone? He started at 145, 150 — now it’s 135, 137. What was the diet plan? What did you do?” Akmal’s advice to …

PCB tightens grip post Naseem Shah controversy, warns centrally contracted players

Modern cricket isn’t just about what happens on the field anymore. Players today carry their identity off it as well, especially in the age of social media. And sometimes, one wrong move online can create as much noise as anything in a match. The Pakistan Cricket Board made that clear recently. Naseem Shah was fined PKR 20 million by PCB (AFP) Naseem Shah, the 23-year-old fast bowler, found himself at the centre of a controversy after a post from his account appeared to take a dig at Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, asking, “Why is she being treated like a queen at Lord’s?” He later claimed that his account had been hacked, but by then, the conversation had already gathered momentum. The PCB didn’t take long to respond. A PKR 20 million fine and a show-cause notice followed, sending a strong signal that the board is not willing to overlook such issues. It also made one thing clear: players, along with those managing their social media accounts, will be held responsible if guidelines are breached. …

Naseem Shah’s Brother Ubaid Accidentally Hits Teammate Usman Khan During PSL Match. Viral Video Has Internet On Overdrive

Multan Sultans pacer Ubaid Shah accidentally slapped teammate Usman Khan during their Pakistan Super League (PSL) match against Lahore Qalandars on Tuesday. The moment unfolded after Ubaid dismissed Sam Billings on the final of the 15th over with the Qalandars chasing 229 for the win in Multan. It was crucial wicket for Ubaid and the Sultans as Billings was playing a blinder, having already smashed 43 off 22 balls, striking at almost 200, before his dismissal. Ubaid celebrated with too much exuberance as he accidentally hit wicketkeeper Usman on the head with an open palm. Since Usman was not wearing a helmet, he felt the full flow of the lanky pacer’s arm. However, a quick medical check confirmed he could continue, and the player too gave a big thumbs up to reaffirm he is fine.

Naseem Shah scripts history batting at No 11 in 2nd ODI against New Zealand, joins Mohammad Amir in elite list

Naseem Shah scripts history batting at No 11 in 2nd ODI against New Zealand, joins Mohammad Amir in elite list

Naseem Shah came in as a concussion substitute for Pakistan in the second ODI against New Zealand in Hamilton and had an instant impact, scoring a 41-ball half-century batting at No 11. New Zealand bowled Pakistan out for 208, winning the second ODI by 84 runs and sealed the series. Pakistan’s Naseem Shah became only the second No 11 to smash a half-century in ODIs after being a late inclusion into the side as a concussion substitute in the second game against New Zealand on Wednesday, April 2. Pakistan had to think on their feet as to replacing Haris Rauf, who suffered a blow on his helmet and there were after-effects. The physios tended to him for a few minutes before it was decided to bring in a concussion substitute. Shah wasn’t part of the side for the second ODI but justified his inclusion with a 41-ball fifty, his maiden in the format. Shah became only the second player in ODI history to score a half-century batting at No 11, after Pakistan’s own Mohammad Amir. …

Pakistan Pacers “Not The Best”: Ex-CSK Star Namedrops Shaheen, Haris, Naseem In Epic Dig

Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has dismissed the notion that Pakistan always produce the best fast bowlers. Moeen cited the example of current pace trio of Pakistan — Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah — saying that they are good, but not great. Pakistan had a tournament to forget as they crashed in the group stage of the Champions Trophy at home. The likes of Shaheen, Haris and Naseem all failed to impress, raising doubts over their abilities to take wickets. While Shaeen and Haris were retained in the squad for the ongoing white-ball series against New Zealand, Naseem had to bear the brunt of the team’s disappointing Champions Trophy show. “This is the thing people have. Especially people with Pakistani backgrounds. They’ll say Pakistani seamers are the best. I’m like no, they’re not. They’re good, but they’re not the best. Naseem Shah, Shaheen and Haris Rauf are very good. We’re not saying they are bad, but they’re not the best,” Moeen said on ‘Beard Before Wicket‘ YouTube show. Moeen, who will …
