tribune.com.pk

Fakhar Zaman is likely to be reinstated in the Pakistan Cricket Board's central contracts and national squad after apologizing for a breach of conduct. The PCB chose a reprimand instead of severe punishment for his controversial tweet about former captain Babar Azam. Previously, Fakhar was excluded from the 2024-25 central contracts and missed recent white-ball series against Australia and Zimbabwe. His apology has led to positive discussions among PCB officials and selectors regarding his return. Selectors have advised Fakhar to focus on recovering from a knee injury ahead of the December series in South Africa. He is expected to be included in the squad, pending a fitness test.
