T20 World Cup: Pakistan has again been shamed at the global stage! Seems like such shaming and humiliation does not bother them anymore. The latest is that a Pakistan cricketer has been reprimanded for misbehaving with a female hotel staff in Sri Lanka. The player has not been named by the Pakistan Cricket Board, but has been fined already. As per a report on Telecom Asia Sport, the incident took place before Pakistan's final Super 8 game against co-hosts Sri Lanka. 

Player Not Named by PCB

"Before Pakistan's last Super Eight match against Sri Lanka, a Pakistan World Cup squad player misbehaved with a female housekeeping staff member," sources told Telecom Asia Sport. "The staff shouted and called for help, at which the hotel staff came to her rescue and reported the matter to Pakistan team manager Navaid Cheema," the report said, quoting team sources.

"The top management of Golden Crown Hotel wanted the matter to be dealt with strongly, but Cheema apologised on behalf of the player and fined him for misbehaviour," the report added.

Despite winning their final Super 8 game against Sri Lanka by five runs, Pakistan could not make the final four. They were knocked out based on their Net Run Rate. 

Unnamed Player to Appear Before PCB 

It is understood that the said player is also likely to appear before the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) disciplinary committee and is likely to be punished further. Interesting to see what action would be taken against the player and if his name gets disclosed.
