The action was taken following a controversial social media post, which prompted the board to issue a show-cause notice to the player on March 27. A three-member disciplinary committee later conducted a formal hearing before reaching its decision.

According to the PCB, Naseem Shah’s actions breached contractual obligations, raising concerns over professionalism and discipline. The board reiterated its commitment to maintaining high professional standards and safeguarding the integrity of the game, emphasizing that strict action will be taken against any violations.
