PCB bans players from performing push-ups as a part of their celebrations 

While addressing a National Assembly committee, PCB Executive Committee Chairman Najam Sethi said that the board has barred players from performing push-ups as part of their celebration after winning matches.

Sethi's revelation came as lawmakers raised questions during a meeting of the Inter-Provincial Coordination Committee over the cricket team performing push-ups after victory in international matches.

"Who were Misbah-ul-Haq and other players giving a message to by doing push-ups?" asked PML-N MNA Rana Muhammad Afzal. He wondered why the players did push-ups when the team won and were silent when it lost.

Meanwhile, Chaudhry Nazeer Ahmad - also a member of the PML-N MNA - had an alternate recommendation. "It would have been better if the players offered nawafil (special prayers) instead of doing press-ups on the victory," he said.
