Report: Pakistan cricketers fined after failing to reach Twenty20 World Cup semifinals

The Pakistan Cricket Board has reportedly fined players around $18,000 each after the team failed to qualify for Twenty20 World Cup semifinals. PCB “officials have clearly told the players that enough pampering has been done — from now on, financial benefits will only come with performance,” the Express Tribune reported Tuesday. According to the report, the PCB decided to fine the players after Pakistan lost a group-stage match to archrival India on Feb. 15.
