The development follows allegations involving Shaheen Afridi and teammate Sikandar Raza during PSL 11.
According to a letter written by Director General (Operations) Faisal Kamran to the PCB and PSL administration, four guests associated with the players allegedly breached the security cordon and entered their hotel room late at night.
The letter claimed the guests remained in the room for around an hour and a half, raising concerns over violation of established security arrangements.
Lahore Qalandars, however, reiterated that it respects all security protocols and has taken disciplinary action to ensure accountability within the team.
