Pakistani cricketer batter Azam Khan showed his support for Palestine by putting a sticker of their flag on his bat that turned out costly for him. He did this in a T20 match between two teams from Karachi and Lahore. But he got into trouble for doing this.
The Pakistan Cricket Board PCB fined him half of his match fee. They said he broke the rules by showing a political message on his bat. The umpire told him to remove the sticker, but he did not listen. He said all his bats had the same sticker. The cricket board said the rules do not allow players to show any messages that are about politics, religion or race.
Azam Khan's Fans on social media did not like the cricket board's decision. They praised Azam Khan for standing up for Palestine.
