'I Am Laughing': Khawaja Slams PCB Fines For T20 WC Performance
•Usman Khawaja reacted with disbelief and laughter to PCB fining 15 Pakistani players INR 16.50 lakh each for their 2026 T20 World Cup performance in Sri Lanka.
•The Pakistan-born Australian international called the decision an 'absolute shambles,' arguing it would only increase pressure on players.
•Fines were imposed after losing to India, with a condition to waive them if Pakistan reached the semi-finals, which they failed to do due to NRR.
•Khawaja questioned the logic, stating no high-performance team fines players for losing games, and labeled Pakistan cricket a 'drama series'.
