Fawad fined for missing flag-hoisting ceremony

Updated : Saturday September 26 , 2009 11:13:45 PM

KARACHI: Young all-rounder Fawad Alam has been fined for failing to report for the flag-hoisting ceremony prior to the start of Pakistan’s opening Champions Trophy match against West Indies at the Wanderers earlier this week.

According to reports, Fawad did not turn up for the flag hoisting ceremony at the ground and also failed to justify his absence. He was fined Rs.10,000 Friday after being found guilty of a breach of discipline.

It was after conducting a hearing that the team management fined him and warned him against any future misconduct.

Champions Trophy organisers had invited sixteen kids who were supposed to accompany the 15-member team along with the coach to the Wanderers for the flag hoisting ceremony.

Fawad did not turn up despite several reminders and was sleeping in the dressing room. By the time he woke up, the short ceremony was over. The kid who was supposed to accompany Fawad was left perplexed and confused. He even started weeping, finding no player to walk with.

The kid was consoled and was later offered the opportunity to take pictures with team members.

Fawad is no stranger to controversies. A couple of weeks back he had been involved in a serious breach of conduct during the national training camp for the Champions Trophy, forcing the management to impose a heavy fine of Rs.100,000 on him.

[abc_to_xyz]

[IAJ]

PCB trying everything to get some money, but not sure if it was PCB who got the missig-flag cerem. fine.

[muhammad saad]

[JustAnotherFan]

About £80.

[fawad_wellwisher]

Is Fawad losing patience with the management and reacting? I wouldn't be surprised. I wonder what's going inside his head?

[SameerM]

wot if he had to go toilet last minute..... calm down boys.... there cud be a good reason he was late

[Disco_Lemonade]

yaar the report says he was sleeping, and by the time he woke up the ceremony was over.

just overslept.

[Inswinger]

Feel sorry for the kid.

[AZ]

lo, you have got to be kidding me! how the hell could he be sleeping amongst thousands of screaming fans and music blaring out of mammoth speakers

[zimran72]

so nobody bothered to wake him up?

[ali110]

crap news story, unless he has some medical condition (which makes hime sleep among several thousand cheering fans and all the excitment of big match), I can't believe this story but if's true then he needs to be punished.

[pakcricketfan]

He was SLEEPING in the DRESSING ROOM???!! And nobody woke him up?!
That's so strange.

[iafzal]

How can he keep sleeping if we even believe he was sleeping. I guess all the team members either scared of him or don't like him at that they did not bother to wake him up.

[AZ]

maybe it's the other 'sleeping' :P

[kingusama92]

He was sleeping in the dressing room?! :))) :))) :)))

10,000 rupees for not coming to a ceremony? A bit steep.

[pakistanichamp]

Fawad Alam was fined 10,000 rupees for one of the most bizarre reasons ever.
He was fined for sleeping in the dressing room in yesterday's match between Pakistan and India.

[iZeeshan]

Can you blame him?

Nothing has ever gone his way.

[Mohsin]

Just because its Fawad it must be masala?!

There;s bullcrap talk of groupings in the team etc etc and thats fine; everyone believes that but this MUST be masala! Jeez!

A bit harsh on the young lad, IMO

[FarooK]

Quite the contrary, as a young player trying to make the team this does not show the best character, he should smarten up and put out his best as he is a player with loads of potential

[iHammad]

If Fawad did something wrong, then he should be punished. But he should also make sure that in the future, mistakes like these don't happen. :fawad:

mmmm old news

[amar1212]

thats bs..you can never sleep in a dressing room when u have a big game, first of the Ct, thats impossible, i bet this news was made up by a jealus indian fan an or something...

[Nazir_ Rules]

I dont beleive it! Crap news, but if it is true, then he should learn from his mistakes!

[Mian Hassan]

I think Fawad is Losing it because of Umar Akmal getting more chances them him... Pakistan needs to give him a chance..... because i don't want him to get into more of this.

[Serendipity]

masala news, dont give any attention but

Fawad needs to be given a chance soon, he has done every thing right so lets not spoil, he is young and despite his very very mature attitude so far, he is still young...........come on pcb/younis, play him instead of Mis-bah now

[pakcricketfan]

If its true (somehow), then Fawad deserved some sort of punishment.
Having said that, I still can't understand how can someone SLEEP in the DRESSING ROOM!! And how come nobody woke him up!!!

Jee haan.Its very weird.
