Senior journalist Hamir Mir has demanded clarity from the Pakistan Cricket Board after media reports that cricketer Azam Khan was allegedly fined 50 per cent of his match for expressing solidarity with Palestine in a National T20 Cup match.

“Will the PCB tell when it became a crime to put the flag of Palestine on the cricket bat in Pakistan? Those who fined Azam Khan for placing the Palestinian flag on the bat should be dismissed from the PCB and set an example,” Mir said.
