The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued multiple disciplinary actions against players for various forms of misconduct.

Initially, the PCB imposed a two-year ban and a fine of 1 million Pakistani rupees on all-rounder Hamza Nazar after an internal inquiry determined he provided false information during a visa application process. This sanction occurred while Nazar was under consideration for the upcoming Test series against the West Indies.

Subsequently, the PCB extended bans to several former cricketers, including Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Sohail Tanvir, and Zahid Mahmood, for participating in the unsanctioned Asian Legends League in Lusaka, Zambia, without obtaining required No Objection Certificates (NOCs). The tournament was halted following clarification from the Zambia Cricket Union that the league lacked official approval, leaving some players and staff stranded due to unpaid travel and financial issues.
