When Pakistan crashed out of the T20 World Cup yet again, you knew there would be noise. What nobody expected was the bill that followed. A day after the Super Eight exit, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reportedly informed the squad that each player would be fined PKR 5 million (INR 16.2 lakh) for the team’s performance. This is something unheard of. Players always try to do their best. But PCB has put up a straight fine. A different kind of “surgery” this time around as per the Express Tribune.
Pakistan’s poor T20 World Cup 2026
Pakistan’s campaign was a mess from the start. They stumbled past the Netherlands. Beat the USA without convincing anyone. Then came the 61-run defeat to India. That loss exposed the gaps in temperament and planning. They squeezed into the Super Eights, but the slide continued. A rain-hit no result against New Zealand. A loss to England. A hollow win over Sri Lanka that changed nothing. Another ICC event, another semifinal missed. That makes four in a row.
Pakistan should’ve gone deep in this tournament. They knew that they’d play all the games in Sri Lanka. Being a subcontinent nation, they shouldn’t have lost to England in Colombo. They shouldn’t have stumbled badly against the Netherlands. Spin-friendly surfaces. Familiar conditions. No travel excuses. No alien bounce. Yet when India turned up, Pakistan looked flat.

The reported PKR 5 million fine per player is not pocket change. For some in the squad, it is more than what they earn in a month from their central contracts.
PCB Annual Contracts
GradeCentral Contracts in PKR Million (PCB + ICC Revenue Share)Grade A4.5 + 2.07Grade B3 + 1.5525Grade C1 + 1.035Grade D0.75 + 0.517Do the math. For a Grade C or D player, that penalty hurts badly. The board’s stance, as reported, is that they are done “pampering” players. Performance must justify financial benefits. Incidentally, PCB’s viewpoint of drawing parallels between their performance and monetary benefits isn’t something new.
