The PCB clarified that the players spent time with their families with the management’s approval two days before the India match.

All the players were in their rooms Saturday night prior to the match on Sunday. No cricketers broke the curfew, it added.

A video clip is doing rounds on social media has taken in which Pakistani cricketers including Shoaib Malik, Imam-ul-Haq, Wahab Raz and Imad Wasim can be seen relaxing and having fun in a Shisha bar with Indian tennis star, also Shoaib Malik’s wife Sania Mirza.

Sania Mirza also took to social media lashing out at the person who made the video viral of her family outing. Furious Mirza wrote:

“That’s the video you shot without asking us, disrespecting our privacy even though we had a child with us?& got told off for doing so,& u came up with this crap?FYI ‘outing’ was dinner & yes ppl are allowed to eat if they lose a match! Bunch of fools! Try better content nxt time”.

Pakistan team supporters are showing their dismay ever since the Sheesha Bar video went viral on social media.

Andrew flintoff was found.drinking on a boat a night before the match in 2007 WC and he was dropped. Here our so called star players are smoking a night before match with their wives. There should be serious reprimanding on this alone. pic.twitter.com/Icq4i5c674
