In a decisive move following Pakistan’s heartbreaking loss to India in the Asia Cup final, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken strict disciplinary measures against several players. The board cited a lack of commitment and unsatisfactory performance during the crucial stages of the tournament as primary reasons for the action. Among the consequences is a bold decision to suspend key members of the squad from upcoming international fixtures, signaling a zero-tolerance approach to underperformance at the highest level.

The PCB outlined the following punitive actions, emphasizing accountability and team discipline:

  • Three-match suspension for underperforming batsmen
  • Mandatory fitness and attitude improvement programs for all selected players
  • Review and restructuring of the team leadership and support staff
