The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 has been going on during the 11th edition of the competition. Something unusual happened last night in match no.6 between Lahore Qalandars (LHQ) and Karachi Kings (KK). Qalandars opener Fakhar Zaman has been charged with ball tampering during the game. It was caught on camera that the Southpaw did something with the ball.
Fkahar Zaman was seen forcing something into the ball after it was given to him by captain Shaheen Afridi and teammate Haris Rauf. The umpire stepped in right away, changed the ball, assessed the situations and a five-run penalty was handed to the Qalandars. Although the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has accused Zaman of ball-tampering, the punishment is unlikely to be harsh.
Fakhar Zaman set to be banned
However, Fakhar Zaman denied the charge against him. Zaman was charged with a Level 3 offence under Article 2.14 of the PSL Code of Conduct after match referee Roshan Mahanama found a possible breach of playing conditions that prohibit altering the condition of the ball.
Recently, the new reports stated that Fakhar Zaman's second hearing concluded, with the possibility of a ban from one to two matches. Fakhar Zaman stands firm on his stance from the first hearing.
The Pakistan Cricket Board said: "Fakhar denied the charge levelled against him during a disciplinary hearing led by the match referee Roshan Mahanama. Another hearing is set to take place within the next 48 hours, after which the match referee will share his verdict."
The ball tampering incident happened before the final over of Karachi Kings’ innings, when they needed 14 runs to win. On-field umpire Faisal Afridi took the ball and consulted with Sharfuddoula second umpire. The umpires determined that the ball's condition had been deliberately altered.
