As a fan of the game, this is absolutely appalling.
Should be dealt with immediately. Who is this?

What is wrong with them? I have hated Karachi Kings always. They always give some reason to hate them.

Sometimes managers are allowed etc - we dont know the full story yet
 
You do realize that players have an actual life besides the game? Sometimes it can be a domestic emergency
 
Im 100% sure the producer aired that moment on purpose to warn the general public of this. Good on him.
 
Seen a team manager use one in the dressing room, but never in a dugout.

Strange stuff.

Looks like he is a team manager but another manager signed on to the team sheet.
Weird incident nevertheless.
 
Tariq Wasi is the CEO and Navaid Rasheed is the Team Manager -- now Ary is claiming Tariq Wasi is CEO and Manager while Navaid Raheed is Assistant Manager -- interesting its Navaid Rasheed who signed the team sheet. I guess the CEO can do whatever he wants lol

ICC and other relevant agencies should take action on this. I support Karachi Kings and expect them to take some concrete steps so this does'nt happen again.

You can still use FB messenger, IGDM and Whatsapp without a sim card.
 
She will probably get some punishment for this. Hope PCB does so for KK as well. This kind of stuff is not allowed. I remember a few yrs ago o few of our players got in trouble for wearing apple watches on field as well.
 
Dean Jones "Like in ALL T20 cricket. The manager/CEO is the only one allowed to have a phone. In this case Tariq.. our CEO is doing work. Here he is organising us Practice times for today. Thanks for your concern"
 
pathetic stuff from Karachi Kings, needs to be investigated who knows what kind of info he may be providing and to whom
 
PSL: ICC Calls 'Mobile Phone' Fiasco an 'Issue for PCB'

It might be an ICC-approved T20 league, but the international body is clear that it doesn't wish to interfere in the day-to-day functioning of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). A Karachi Kings official was spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during their match against Peshawar Zalmi on Friday night and the ICC has said that it is for the Pakistan Cricket Board to look into the matter.

Speaking to IANS, an ICC official said that with PSL being a domestic tournament, it was upto the Pakistan board to look into the 'mobile phone' fiasco. "It's a domestic match and as such an issue for the PCB," the official said.

Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar was one of the many to point out the misconduct. "This is so wrong using mobile phone in dug out," the tweet read along with the snapshot of the official using the mobile phone in the dugout at the National Stadium in Karachi.

Karachi Kings coach Dean Jones though clarified that Tariq Wasi was the CEO and he was only doing his job. "Like in ALL T20 cricket. The manager/CEO is the only one allowed to have a phone. In this case Tariq… our CEO is doing work. Here he is organising us practice times for today. Thanks for your concern," he tweeted.

While Jones called Wasi the CEO, Kings' media manager Faisal Mirza had said that Wasi was the manager of the team. Interestingly, reports in Pakistan media outlets said that Navaid Rasheed was named the side's manager in the team sheet that is filled before the toss and handed to the opposition team and match officials.

A response from the Pakistan board on the fiasco could not be obtained as PCB chief Ehsan Mani didn't reply to messages sent.

As per ICC rules, mobile phones are banned from dressing rooms and players along with members of team management are allowed to use only walkie-talkies and the mobiles are expected to be handed over the anti-corruption official accompanying the team before the start of the game.

However, sub-article 4.2 of the ICC clarifies that "each team manager shall be permitted to carry a Mobile Device within the PMOA, provided that it can only be used either: (a) by him/her for cricket operations purposes; and/or (b) by any Player or Player Support Personnel for any important personal matter".

It's not a good look. Even if managers are allowed phones you don't see them on calls during games.

From the article of post no 29: "each team manager shall be permitted to carry a Mobile Device within the PMOA, provided that it can only be used either: (a) by him/her for cricket operations purposes; and/or (b) by any Player or Player Support Personnel for any important personal matter"

Deano has told it was something to do with arrangements for practice which should fall under cricket operations.

Even if they are allowed it , it really doesn't look good that he is on his phone during the game.

For me and you it may not be a big issue but for people who don't have access or can be bothered to check the exact rule , it doesn't look good.
 
Wasim bhai's involvement with KK. Sharjeel and Amir playing in the side makes it more shady.

Umar Akmal incident is definitely not one-off. Multan and Lahore are other two teams which looks shady. PCB should look into it seriously.
