Shahzaib, Rehman, Zulqarnain fined

08 Nov, 2010

Pakistan team manager Intikhab Alam on Sunday revealed three cricketers were fined for disciplinary reasons, saying there remains no tolerance on the rules implemented in the new code of conduct.
Opener Shahzaib Hasan, spinner Abdul Rehman and wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider were fined 500 dirhams (136 dollars) for breaking curfew timings during the ongoing one-day series against South Africa, played in the United Arab Emirates.
Alam said the players have been told of severe consequences if they breach the code of conduct again, with double fines and other sanctions. Pakistan introduced a new players' code of conduct with stricter punishments last month, following problems of discipline and corruption which rocked their cricket recently.
