Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and vlogger Shehbaz Gill has said that if the fast bowler of the national cricket team, Naseem Shah, wanted to, then “My friends can pay the fine of 2crore to PCB.”
Shehbaz Gill shows willingness to pay Naseem Shah’s fine
The PTI leader, Shehbaz Gill, also said that he would be the first person to contribute to pay Naseem Shah’s fine.
It is important to mention that Naseem Shah tweeted on his X account against the Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, when she entered the Gaddafi Stadium on the opening ceremony of PSL 11.
Naseem Shah wrote on his X, mentioning Maryam Nawaz, “Why is she treated like the queen at Lords?” After this tweet on X, Naseem Shah faced severe criticism for writing against the CM of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz.
Is political commentary allowed to national cricket players?
Several social media users also criticised Naseem Shah for doing political commentary, as social media users claimed that national cricket players shouldn’t do political commentary, as they play for the country, and they should not be political.
However, PCB has issued a show-cause notice to Naseem Shah and directed him to pay the fine of Rs 20 million for violating the PCB’S rules and policy.
Naseem Shah apologises
After the show-cause notice issued by the PCB and the imposition of a heavy fine, Naseem Shah apologised and took full responsibility for the post on X against Maryam Nawaz.
Naseem Shah wrote on X, “A recent post from my account was made by my management team and does not reflect my views.
I take full responsibility for my platform and have implemented the necessary changes to ensure this does not happen again.
I sincerely apologise to everyone affected by this misuse of my platform.”
