Two Pakistan players, Umar Akmal and Junaid Khan, have been fined half of their match fee for misconduct in an incident related to a Pakistan Cup List A match in April. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) set up an inquiry committee to look into the controversy, which centred around Umar's comments on Junaid's availability for the match, and the committee submitted its report to the board on Wednesday. 

The PCB said in a statement on Wednesday that in addition to the fine: "The Board has also warned the two players that they will be under observation for a month starting on 18 May and reoccurrence of breach of discipline will lead to one-month suspension”.  Both players are part of Pakistan's squad for next month's Champions Trophy series.
