31-year-old Australian cricketer James Faulkner has withdrawn from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) series. Pakistan’s PSL cricket league is as popular as the IPL in India. In this, like in the IPL, international players will play with Pakistani players.
Faulkner has played for the Quetta Gladiators this season. In this case, he has resigned due to non-payment of the amount due to him under the contract. “I’m been playing since the beginning of this season and they have been lying about the amount for the season saying ‘we’ll get rid of her soon’. And the Pakistan Cricket Board treated me with contempt, ”he said.
Faulkner, who had an argument with Pakistan Cricket Board executives at a star hotel in Lahore just minutes before departure from the airport, was also reported to have damaged his helmet and hood by throwing a decorative lamp hanging for beauty.

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.
