Pakistan investigate 'discipline and conduct' on England tour

Pakistan has launched an inquiry into the “discipline and conduct” of its cricket team following a series of incidents during its recent tour of England. The investigation, ordered by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), comes after a number of on‑field and off‑field controversies that disrupted the tour’s schedule and raised concerns about the players’ professionalism.

The PCB’s probe will examine allegations of misconduct, breaches of team protocols, and any behaviour that may have affected the team’s performance and reputation. Officials will review match footage, conduct interviews with players, coaching staff and support personnel, and assess whether the board’s disciplinary guidelines were followed. The inquiry aims to determine whether any sanctions are warranted and to recommend measures to prevent similar issues in future tours.

The board’s decision underscores its commitment to maintaining high standards of conduct for Pakistani cricketers abroad. While the inquiry is still underway, the PCB has stated that it will keep the public informed of its findings and any subsequent actions once the investigation is complete.
