Fakhar Zaman likely to receive reprimand and central contract from Pakistan Cricket Board

Fakhar Zaman, the Pakistan cricket opener, is likely to receive a reprimand for breaching the players' code of conduct. He is expected to be included in the central contracts and called up for the national white-ball squad. A committee will review Fakhar's response to a show cause notice regarding a tweet about Babar Azam. His reply was apologetic, and discussions among PCB officials suggest a positive outcome for his selection. Selectors have advised Fakhar to focus on recovering from a knee issue before the upcoming white-ball series in South Africa in December. He may be included in the squad and central contracts if he passes a fitness test.
