Australian all-rounder James Faulkner, who plays for Quetta Gladiators in Pakistan Super League (PSL), blasted Pakistan Cricket Board and the management of Pakistan Super League over a payment issue. 

Faulker wrote on his Twitter: "I apologise to the Pakistan cricket fans. But unfortunately I’ve had to withdraw from the last 2 matches and leave the @thePSLt20 due to the @TheRealPCB not honouring my contractual agreement/payments. I’ve been here the whole duration and they have continued to lie to me.

"It hurts to leave as I wanted to help to get international cricket back in Pakistan as there is so much young talent and the fans are amazing. But the treatment I have received has been a disgrace from the @TheRealPCB and @thePSLt20. I’m sure you all understand my position."

PCB, in reply to the accusation made by Faulkner, said that the charges are fake and a detailed reply is awaited from them.
