According to an Express Tribune story, the national team cricketers were fined PKR 5 million (Rs 16.28 lakh) each by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not making it to the T20 World Cup quarterfinals. According to the report, the decision was made after Pakistan's group stage defeat against India. Even though Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by a slim margin, it was insufficient to guarantee their qualification. Pakistan also lost their Super 8 encounter against England. According to the report, the board administrators were quite unhappy with the team's performance and decided to penalize the players heavily for failing to advance to the ICC event semifinals once more.

Even though Pakistan finished their T20 World Cup campaign with a victory, the team's overall performance in the major competition has raised concerns among cricket fans in the nation.
"You have one opportunity in two years to make a lasting impression on your nation's cricket prowess, yet you fall short once more. All of this is really disheartening," former captain and legendary batsman Javed Miandad stated on Sunday.
The batting virtuoso claimed that the more he observed Twenty20 cricket, the more he realized that the game has become quite methodical and that Pakistan's players are falling behind the other teams.Senior players like Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Mohammad Nawaz, as well as current captain Salman Ali Agha and former captain Babar Azam, are coming under heavy fire. When Agha returns home, it is anticipated that he would relinquish his leadership position.
Saqlain Mushtaq, a former Pakistani coach, has also come under fire for attempting to blame head coach Mike Hesson for his son-in-law Shadab's poor results.
