The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has fined every player in the national team's 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup squad PKR 5 million (50 lakh) for their underwhelming performance, following elimination at the Super 8 stage. The penalties, initially conditional on reaching the semifinals, have drawn sharp criticism from former players Mohammad Amir and Shahid Afridi, as well as journalists like Jarrod Kimber and Osman Samiuddin.
