The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the players are always on the wrong side of the headlines. They are involved in some kind of controversial incidents. Despite the turmoil in PCB after the horrifying performance in the 2026 T20 World Cup, a new controversy has erupted surrounding a Pakistan cricketer, who had misbehaved with female hotel staff in Sri Lanka.
As per reports, ARY News, pacer Salman Mirza has been accused of misbehaving with a female hotel staff during the team's stay in the Island nation during the major tournament. However, there have been reports that the player was fined due to his actions.
But as the recent reports arrive, PCB will take serious action against ARY News's false and misleading news about the Pakistani left-arm pacer. The PCB strongly opposes the spread of such rumours and misleading information, viewing it as harmful and unethical actions from the media.
Pakistan played all of their matches at the ICC tournament in the island nation. According to sources, Salman Mirza acted improperly with the housekeeping staff at the team hotel. The personnel sounded an alarm, which prompted other hotel employees to assist and bring the situation under control.
PCB to take action against Salman Mirza?
According to the reports, senior staff of the Golden Crown Hotel have requested harsh action against the guilty. It was alleged that Naveed Cheema apologised on behalf of the player and then assessed a fine for misconduct. Cheema's quick intervention helped to de-escalate the situation internally for the time being.
It was believed that Salman Mirza was set to appear before the PCB and may face further disciplinary action; however, as the rumours have been baseless, the PCB is to take appropriate action against those involved in spreading false news.

— Sheri. (@CallMeSheri1_) March 5, 2026This is not the first time that any Pakistani player has been accused of misbehaviour, with Haider Ali being detained by Manchester police last year on rape charges. The event occurred while Pakistan Shaheens were on a tour of England. He was later released due to a lack of evidence.
Another incident happened when Malang Ali, a team masseur, had already faced charges of misbehaving with a female staff member during a visit to Malaysia. Pakistan players have been fined for their poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Pakistan management under pressure
The side failed to qualify for the semi-final round despite winning in their last game against Sri Lanka. The Pakistan players have been fined PKR 5 million (US$ 18,000 approx.). There have been changes in the PCB management, with new members added to the selection committee.
There have been reports of a change in the head coach role as well. Pakistan U-19 head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed is likely to be the new head of the Pakistan cricket team for the Test format, as the place for the Test coach has been vacant. Pakistan will be travelling to Bangladesh for a 3-match ODI series.
