[VIDEO] Fakhar Zaman handed two-match PSL ban for level 3 code breach [UPDATE@ POST 157]

Camera and strict rules are the biggest reason for the decline of Pakistan cricket..The 90s Pakistani cricketers thrived without these high resolution cameras and strict doping rules, whereas the post 2000 generations struggled with these and ultimately failed..

Calm down pindiz. What CA did does not matter. PCB and ICC umpires will and shall do according to the icc rules for it.

If there is a ban, than issue that ban.

They are correct. Australia banned two of its premium players. Fakhar, Rauf and Shaheen deserve to be punished and made an example of

We are talking about education not cricketing tactics etc. I am well aware of younis khan the cricketer. I am waiting for you to highlight us his education which was the basis you claimed you didn't like other pashtuns.

Ignore him bro, no need to soil your own conscience with people you wouldn’t even look twice at if you walked past them. His posts against various players now suddenly make a lot of sense too

If this is happening in some random meaningless PSL game I wonder what “work” must have been done on the ball in the high stakes Asia cup final. All these 3 players were part of that X1 as well. That raises the profile of Tilak Verma and Dube’s innings in my book even more.

Remember the great Imran khan was doing it in some useless county match and he wrote about it. That is main reason I don’t believe much about Pakistan’s legacy in bowling. Fact that suddenly their bowling plummeted right after introduction of multiple camera angle and more scrutiny tell you everything you need to know

Yeah, cleaning the ball without umpires permission is not the same as using bottle caps

All your entire cricketing history is built on whataboutism.

Fixing? But what about what about what about india?

Ball tampering? But what about what about what about India?

Chucking? But what about what about what about what about India?

This is how india differs from Pakistan

When out fixers were caught, we didn't go - but what about what about Pakistan. We banned our captian for life

I think the way both teams handled discipline from late 90s onwards decided the future of their cricket
 
I'm not surprised at all knowing Pakistan cricket history. . just another normal day in Pakistan cricket. :klopp :kp
 
If players are going to these lengths for a simple league match, where does there win at all cost passion go in international games with much more at stake. Not saying they should be tampering in International Cricket, but makes you question these guys don't view international cricket as important as meaningless league matches.
 
Extremely disappointing and disgraceful from LQ. Shaheen Rauf and Fakhar should be banned for entire season. Pathetic stuff that too in third class league which no one gives damn about.
 
Based on the video, Shaheen know what was going on and given a green signal to Fakhar to carry out the tampering, even smiling afterward.
 
Absolutely gutted, RizBar might have been expected of this but definitely not Fakhar Zaman whose career has been marred by nepotism , greed & injustice

RizBar are just $hit no matter how hard you try to defend them.
 
You people have an issue with me bringing RizBar into every thread,

Well now that you have kicked it off…

I recon the skipper in the SA series knew what was going on and how his team was getting the ball to reverse early on as pointed out by Heinrich Klaasen. Who was that skipper? Oh yes, the one who was booted out by Pakistan without even a “thank you for your services” note
 
RizBar so far have remained honest and straight in their act , let's not drag this. PSL authorities need to get this right

It’s 2 boys from his Shadow agency that are in question

All of these guys make me sick man!

Look at the bruises on his forehead. They are there to signal to people that he is a regular Namazi. Inside, they harbour all the deceit and dishonesty one can imagine. Apparently in Pakistani society, you are no one if you are “Seedha saadha”. The more devious you are, the more successful you will be!

He needs to shut up and call out what this is, blatant ball tampering

Defending Fakhar and Shaheen because they are Saya is a bad look

Rauf, Shaheen and Fakhar all need a full season ban and atleast a year ban from the national team.

Think that is too far.

Technically Aussie cricketers recieved a bigger ban because they used external item for tampering.

They should be given 3 game match and lQ a point deduction.

An year ban is overreaction. Banning for 2-3 matches is sufficient. ICC rules also have similar punishments.

Fakhar seems to be getting the punishment alone, while it's pretty clear that Shaheen and Rauf were also involved. Imho all the 3 players should be given equal punishment.

Didn’t you see the video in the first post where he is clearly trying to tamper the ball?
If you can’t see it, you need to visit an ophthalmologist, lol.

Fakhar Zaman is staring at a ban for at least one match after he was charged with changing the condition of the ball in Lahore Qalandars' four-wicket defeat to Karachi Kings in their PSL 2026 game on Sunday.

The Qalandars' player, a PCB statement said, has been charged with a level-III offence, which carries a minimum ban of one match and a maximum of two for a first violation in a PSL season. Match referee Roshan Mahanama will conduct a hearing in the next two days and Fakhar will contest the charge.

I didn't say anything lol. PCB made this statement. Learn to read instead of talking out of your rear end

No evidence of tampering there. Don't be sheep that will follow the masses. Wait for evidence and always critically challenge what you see. Critical thinking is very important in this age of social media and fake news.

Maybe you need to remove the tulla blinkers and see that it says Fakhar contested the charge. Maybe Farhan and Tulla Agha have been facing tampered balls and hence the reason for their pathetic performance in your opinion?

What happens if he is proven guilty? Will you have some shame and admit you were wrong, or will you continue barking about Tulla Agha and Tulla Farhan?

I think you need to get your brain checked because you clearly can't understand basic English. The statement clearly says he’s been charged with a Level-III offence - that’s not just an appeal or a random accusation. It means the umpires reviewed the situation, inspected the ball, and found enough evidence to formally charge him after consulting each other. Officials don’t hand out Level-III charges without serious grounds.

Have you forgotten how Fakhar openly attacked the board for dropping Babar Azam and called him Pakistan's best batsmen and was served a show cause notice by PCB then?

He is always a follower not a leader, which is a pity as he could have become a good leader.

I dont think you understand how this works bro. We need to wait for the investigation to see if the charges are correct. Anyone can press charges but it needs to be backed by evidence.

Yes may be i thought of him as an upright, principled no nonsense guy
 
“Fakhar Zaman has revealed that match referee Roshan Mahanama has summoned him again for a hearing. Match referee Roshan Mahanama asked Fakhar Zaman further questions. Roshan Mahanama completed the hearing after hearing the answers to the questions from Fakhar Zaman. Fakhar Zaman had also rejected the allegations of ball tampering against him during the first hearing.”

No, anyone cannot press charges. Only umpires can, and they can only do so if they think they have sufficient evidence.

Don't talk nonsense if you have no idea what you are talking about.
 
Rashid Latif shared following thoughts on this ball tempering controversy:

* "I don't want to talk about ball tampering. Otherwise I will have to talk about my playing days as it will be unfair to just talk about the current players."
* "If any film is coming out and you know that it will be flop, it is made into a controversy."
* "Like they did with The Hundred when they said that no Pakistan player will be playing. No one knew The Hundred before that. Now there is a controversy in PSL and it will become headlines."
* "This news will not be relevant for more than 24 hours."

Again read what I wrote. The umpires can press charges all they want but until Fakhar is proven guilty with evidence he is innocent. Tulla fans may not be familiar with the legal maxim Innocent Until Proven Guilty.

I don't think you actually read what you write. But honestly I blame myself for trying to explain any of this to someone with such a low IQ.
 
Shaheen and Rauf deserved to be given a hefty ban for their rubbish bowling for the last 3-4 years and the numerous games they have singlehandedly cost Pakistan. Its criminal that we keep forgiving this trio again and again.
