Lahore Qalandars Accused of Security Breach During PSL 11

A formal notice issued by Lahore Police has raised serious concerns over an alleged breach of security protocols involving players from Lahore Qalandars during the ongoing 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11).

According to the official communication from the office of the Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Lahore, the incident took place on March 28 at the PC Hotel, where all PSL teams are currently staying under strict security arrangements.

The report states that a request was initially made through the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) liaison to allow four relatives of Sikandar Raza to visit him. However, the request was declined by PSL CEO Salman Naseer in line with established security protocols.

Despite the refusal, it is alleged that Shaheen Shah Afridi and Sikandar Raza facilitated the entry of visitors into a hotel room later that night. Reports indicate the visitors remained in the room for an extended period, raising concerns among security personnel.

The letter, signed by DIG Operations Lahore Muhammad Faisal, termed the incident a “clear violation” of the PCB’s  security protocols and code of conduct. It further urged relevant authorities to review the matter and take appropriate disciplinary action to prevent similar occurrences.

The development has sparked debate among fans on social media, with some drawing comparisons to the swift action taken against Naseem Shah in a recent controversy. While some have called for strict penalties, others have questioned the rigidity and consistency of the rules being enforced.

The PCB has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
