Mohsin Naqvi-led Pakistan Cricket Board is in front of some serious questions raised by the former cricketer

"Amazingly, the PCB could think that this is a good idea. Sorry, I'm laughing because I can't believe it. In what high-performance team in the entire world, let alone cricket, are players getting fined when they lose cricket games?", Khawaja raised the question to the Mohsin Naqvi-led Pakistan Cricket Board.

"They're not trying to lose cricket games. And how do you even think that makes them perform better next time? All it does is put more pressure and more stress on the players. I mean, they're under enough pressure. They're Pakistani players", Usman Khawaja further said in his reaction video.

Khawaja directly said that it is a shame that PCB issued fines against the players who went into the event to represent the nation. He stated that to him, Pakistan is nothing but a drama, and he is waiting for the next episode.

"The whole country is watching them. I mean, even the selection in the past had put them under pressure as players. And now, on top of that, you're fining them? It's an absolute shame because I really feel for the Pakistani players. Poor Pakistani players... Every time I think Pakistan's not going to surprise me, they surprise me. It's like a drama series. I can't wait for the next episode", the 39-year-old concluded.
