In an effort to bolster discipline and professionalism within the Pakistan cricket team, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has implemented a stringent policy that imposes a fine of $500 on players found sleeping in the dressing room. This development comes during a challenging tour of Australia, where Pakistan faced defeat in the first Test and is currently trailing by 241 runs in the second Test.
The initiative was introduced by Mohammad Hafeez, who recently assumed the role of the team’s new director. Known for his strict approach and often referred to as the ‘Professor,’ Hafeez aims to instill a zero-tolerance policy towards inactivity within the team.
Reports have indicated that some players, who were not part of the playing XI, were found napping in the dressing room. The new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) stipulate that players should only sleep in their hotel rooms and not within the stadium premises. Any violations of this rule will result in a substantial fine of $500.
Hafeez’s emphasis on discipline and professionalism underscores his commitment to improving the team’s overall performance and attitude. This move is part of a broader effort by the PCB to revamp the team’s culture and ensure that players maintain a high level of focus and dedication.
By implementing these stricter rules, the PCB aims to address issues of discipline and commitment within the team, with the ultimate goal of elevating Pakistan cricket to new heights of success and professionalism.
