Azam Khan, Pakistan’s young wicketkeeper-batsman, faced a heavy fine during the National T20 tournament in Karachi due to a breach of clothing and equipment regulations. The 25-year-old cricketer was found to have violated the rules during the Lahore Blues and Karachi Whites match, resulting in a 50% reduction in his match fees. During the game, Khan appeared to bat with the Palestinian flag displayed on his bat. Initially warned by the match referee for this act, Khan persisted, leading to the subsequent fine. This penalty serves as a reminder of the stringent guidelines in place concerning cricketing equipment and attire.
