PCB Tightens Security After Teen Fan Breaches Pakistan Dressing-Room Area in Lahore

Police filed a trespass case as the PCB plans protective fencing between spectator areas and players’ facilities.

Overview

  • Head coach Azhar Mahmood confronted the intruder near the dressing room and signalled security, who escorted the fan away.
  • Lahore police registered a trespass case; the teenager, identified in some reports as Ovais, was questioned, reprimanded, and later released after the PCB declined to press charges.
