Pakistan cricket authorities have fined 12 players, including Shahid Afridi and batsman Umar Akmal, for failing to meet fitness standards.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) set tough new fitness guidelines in June, warning that failure to stay in shape would lead to players having their salaries docked.
A PCB spokesman said the players were assessed against the guidelines earlier this month, and the 12 who failed would lose 25 per cent of one month’s salary.
Along with Afridi and Akmal, those facing fines include Khurram Manzoor, Sarfraz Ahmed, Abdur Rehman, Haris Sohail, Sohaib Maqsood, Mohammad Irfan, Sharjeel Khan, Mohmmad Talha, Raza Hassan and Zulfiqar Babar.
But five others were rewarded with bonuses for improving their fitness, including Test and one-day captain Misbah-ul Haq.
