An unnamed Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 squad member was fined for allegedly misbehaving with a female housekeeping staff member at the Golden Crown Hotel in Kandy, Sri Lanka, before Pakistan's final Super Eight match against Sri Lanka. The staff raised an alarm, prompting hotel employees to intervene and report the incident to Pakistan team manager Naveed Cheema, who apologized and imposed a fine. Senior hotel officials sought stronger action, and the player may face further disciplinary review by the Pakistan Cricket Board upon returning home.
