The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is moving closer to resolving the ongoing issue with star batter Fakhar Zaman, following recent controversy. Sources indicate that the PCB is showing leniency and a “soft corner” toward Fakhar, which may soon lead to a favorable outcome. Fakhar’s case arose from his exclusion from both the Australia and Zimbabwe tours, as well as the removal from central contracts, following a controversial post he shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Background of the Controversy
Fakhar Zaman’s recent social media post sparked backlash and scrutiny from PCB officials, which some initially thought was the primary reason for his exclusion. However, during a recent press conference, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi clarified that Fakhar’s tweet was not the main issue. The chairman pointed out that Fakhar’s fitness had been a concern, affecting his place on the national squad.

PCB’s Stance on Fakhar Zaman
The PCB’s response to Fakhar’s case indicates a shift in stance. According to insiders, officials now view his situation with a more understanding perspective, likely influenced by the player’s contributions and fan support. This approach suggests the board is interested in resolving the matter without further disruption to his career. Fakhar’s fans and the cricket community have shown concern about his absence, and it appears PCB aims to handle the issue with minimal impact on both Fakhar and the team’s dynamics.
The Road Ahead for Fakhar and the PCB
With the PCB’s recent openness to reconciling Fakhar’s case, the star player may soon be able to rejoin the squad if he meets the fitness standards. His exclusion, though controversial, can pave the way for discussions around social media protocols and fitness criteria, which may help avoid similar situations in the future.
The PCB will deal with the issue soon, with a decision that could restore Fakhar’s position, signaling a new chapter for both the player and Pakistan cricket.
