The timing of this allegation could not be worse for the PSL. The league is already dealing with multiple issues—from security breaches involving players to hosting matches without crowds due to safety concerns and some off-field issues.

Fakhar Zaman faces a possible ban as the hearing approaches
It is being said that the match referee, Roshan Mahanama set to conduct a hearing this week. However, Fakhar has denied doing anything wrong, and the final decision will depend on the match referee’s review of the incident.
Fakhar Zaman took the ball, slipped it under his shirt, and held it there with both hands for quite some time. His fingers were moving in a way that didn’t look like the normal “shine-the-ball-with-sweat” action that players usually do.
Normally, a player just uses one hand or lightly rubs the ball on the shirt. But this two-handed movement under the jersey made the USA players feel something wasn’t right.
USA team reported Fakhar’s actions, but no action was taken
The USA batters found it harder to hit, and the match eventually ended in a tie, and the USA had to win it in the Super Over. The USA dugout players and support staff immediately approached the fourth umpire, Rod Tucker, and told him what they saw. After the match, USA captain Monank Patel also mentioned the incident, and they even reported it to the referee, Jeff Crowe.
But no formal action was taken, and the issue slowly died down without any action or anything. The ICC was asked about the incident later, but the global body also maintained silence.
