As per News18, Fakhar Zaman felt “remorseful” about his tweet and apologised to the PCB in his show-cause notice. The report added that the board was willing to let Fakhar off the hook after holding discussions with Mohsin Naqvi and white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan.

Latest news
Fakhar Zaman being snubbed from Pakistan’s central contracts list drew flak from former cricketers. One even went on to suggest that the team had dropped their biggest “impact player”. The incident was triggered due to Fakhar Zaman’s tweet over reports of Babar Azam being dropped for PAK vs ENG 2nd Test. He had said that dropping the former Pakistan skipper would set a bad precedent, while drawing a parallel to Virat Kohli & the BCCI to point out how the board supported the star doing their lean patches.
PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi had said that Fakhar Zaman’s exclusion from the central contracts list was because of his fitness primarily and his tweet secondarily. He claimed that there were twin issues with Fakhar Zaman’s fitness tests, with reports claiming that the batter failed to clear a test recently. Naqvi also stated categorically that any public criticism towards the board and the selection committee would be dealt with strongly.
