Not only Aamer Jamal, team's current vice-captain in ODIs Salman Ali Agha also faced a heavy fine. Openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique were also not spared by the PCB as they faced some high fines as well.
According to a report in Samaa TV, the PCB inflicted some heavy fines on Pakistan's national cricketers for not following the guidelines properly and violating the board's rules and regulations.
Aamer Jamal faced the most severe punishment as he was fined PKR 1.4 million for writing '804' on his cap during a Test match. Players like Salman Ali Agha, Saim Ayub, and Abdullah Shafique were fined PKR 5,00,000 for returning late to the hotel during Pakistan's white-ball tour of Australia.
However, the 200 dollars fine was returned back to these players as a reward for Pakistan's emphatic ODI series win as they clean-swept the hosts South Africa 3-0 in a stunning result.

Why was Aamer Jamal fined so heavily?
Imran is also a former Prime Minister of the country but is in jail now. Jamal is believed to have written this number on his Test cap to show his solidarity towards him. However, the PCB fined him for violating the guidelines which involves avoiding political, religious, or racial statements on the field.
