Pakistan’s T20 World Cup journey ended on Saturday after they failed to beat Sri Lanka by enough runs.
England’s victory over New Zealand kept their semi-final hopes alive, but Salman Ali Agha’s team couldn’t overcome their net run rate deficit.
The Green Shirts’ early exit from the tournament has led to financial penalties from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
According to Express Tribune, the PCB has fined each player five million rupees (around £13,200).
The players have been told that ‘enough pampering has been done’, and financial benefits from now on will depend on their performances.
The team was informed of this decision immediately after losing to India.
Pakistan won their opening two T20 World Cup fixtures against the Netherlands and United States, but suffered a comprehensive defeat to their arch-rivals India.
The 2009 champions bounced back with a victory against Namibia to qualify for the Super Eights, where their first match with New Zealand was abandoned due to rain.
The Green Shirts subsequently lost to England, who chased down a 164 total after a sensational century from captain Harry Brook.
They still had the opportunity to reach the semi-finals with a big victory against Sri Lanka.
Salman Agha’s team posted 212 runs thanks to Sahibzada Farhan’s second T20 World Cup century.
However, they prevailed against the co-hosts by only five runs, allowing New Zealand to qualify for the final four.
Pakistan are now scheduled to visit Bangladesh for a three-match One Day International (ODI) series in March.
The team will arrive in Bangladesh on March 9 and will play their first game two days later.
