Even though the Board did not go into any specifics of the matter, the suspension notice was issued following his misconduct during a mandatory fitness test. When he failed the test, he showed rather ill-behaviour towards a staff of the National Fitness Academy in Lahore. Previously, the former head coach of the team, Mickey Arthur, sent him home after a failed fitness test. This was during 2017 just a few weeks before the Champions Trophy in Britain.
The statement said “As this is an ongoing investigation, the PCB will not make any further comments.”
