Pakistani superstar Azam Khan, son of cricket legend Moeen Khan, came to the field with the Palestinian flag in the bat. In the ongoing National T20 Championship, the player came with the Palestinian flag on the back of the bat and declared solidarity with them.
Azam Khan expressed his support for the people of Gaza during the Karachi Whites Lahore Blues match held yesterday. After the incident, many people are coming to the scene by supporting and criticizing Azam Khan.
But after this act, the Pakistan Cricket Board has imposed a fine against Azam Khan. Azam Khan has been fined 50 percent of the match fee by the apex board.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has given the Karachi Whites wicket-keeper batsman an indication that he may be banned if such incidents are repeated.
Azam Khan has been accused of violating the ICC code of conduct. According to the ICC’s Code of Conduct, it is wrong for players to emblazon their political or religious symbols or signs on their bats, jerseys or helmets.
The ICC Act prescribes heavy fines or fines for such acts. This rule applies not only in international matches but also in domestic cricket. This is Azam Khan’s humility.
There were also reports that if the Pakistan Cricket Board did not take action against Azam Khan, the ICC might take action against the PCB.
Meanwhile, Lahore celebrated victory by defeating Karachi Whites by five runs in the previous match.
In the match at the National Cricket Stadium, Karachi won the toss and sent Lahore Blues into bat. Opener Imran Butt’s half-century and skipper Hussain Talam’s innings helped Lahore score 159 for eight in the allotted overs.

Batting in reply, the Whites managed to score only 154 runs for seven wickets in the final over. Whites’ top scorers were Amad Alav who scored 45 runs off 31 balls and Azam Khan who scored 35 runs off 31 balls.
Despite the defeat to the Blues, Karachi remain top of Group B. Karachi Whites have four points with two wins from three matches.
