Lahore Qalandars players Shaheen Afridi and Sikandar Raza are accused by Punjab police of breaching hotel security after allowing four unauthorized visitors into a team room despite denied approvals. The incident is under PSL review, while Qalandars lead the 2026 tournament after their opening win against Hyderabad Kingsmen.

Lahore: Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Lahore Qalandar players Shaheen Afridi and Sikandar Raza have been accused of a serious breach of security protocols by Punjab police after four unauthorised individuals accessed the team's hotel room, according to ESPNcricinfo.

In a letter addressed to PSL CEO Salman Naseer, a deputy police inspector alleged that Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Afridi and teammate Sikandar Raza ignored security guidelines, "forcefully escorting" the visitors to a player's room on Saturday night, where they stayed for nearly three hours.

The letter claims that the Qalandars' Liaison Officer contacted the PCB's security and anti-corruption manager to request approval for four individuals known to Sikandar Raza to be allowed into his hotel room.

Qalandars' Liaison Officer's request was turned down, according to ESPNcricinfo, and the letter further claims that Qalandars owner Sameen Rana then approached Salman Naseer for approval. This request was also rejected due to security concerns.
