Cricket board clarified that news about committee formation and report tasks were baseless and contrary to facts. The news about imposing ban and fine on athletes were also fabricated, PCB emphasised.
Earlier, some misinformation was circulating that PCB has decided to take violations of discipline by players in the recent World Cup and other series more seriously.
The PCB has decided to further review the issues of team grouping and a lack of discipline among players in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Media reports suggested that both foreign head coaches of the Pakistan team, Gary Kirsten for white-ball cricket and Jason Gillespie for Tests, had advised the PCB to refrain from disciplinary actions against players to allow them to focus on the upcoming international season.
However, PCB has debunked all the rumours and declared them against the facts.
