Pakistan players told to remove caps before Naqvi
The manager's visible gestures at the dinner sparked discussion about player etiquette.
A video showed Pakistan's team manager gesturing to Hasan Nawaz and Naseem Shah to remove their caps while greeting PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi at a team dinner. The incident took place ahead of Pakistan's T20I series against Sri Lanka.
Nawaz shook hands with Naqvi while wearing his cap before the manager signalled for him to remove it. Naseem Shah received a similar gesture when he approached the chairman.
The footage has prompted debate about expected conduct at formal team events. The series begins at Rawalpindi on Friday with Sahibzada Farhan leading Pakistan against Kusal Mendis's Sri Lanka.

The incident highlights the gap between formal protocol and player expectations, particularly when the instruction is delivered through gestures rather than prior briefing.
