Quetta Gladiators' James Faulkner pulls out of PSL, accuses PCB of 'non-payment'

Lahore (Web Desk): Quetta Gladiators' James Faulkner has withdrawn from the remaining matches of his team in the seventh season of Pakistan Super League (PSL) and accused the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not 'honouring' his 'contractual agreement'.

In a series of tweets, the Australian cricketer said that the treatment he received from the PCB was a disgrace.

According to sources, the Australian all-rounder was paid 70% of the salary just like the PCB pays to all its participating players in the middle of the HBL PSL edition.

His payment was transferred by the PCB in his given Australian bank account but Faulkner told that he is no more using this account and provided another account details.

The sources added that that before departure, he damaged the hotel's property and had to pay damages at the time of check-out. At Lahore immigration, he again misbehaved with the security staff who have already escalated the matter to the higher authorities.
