Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz take action on his plea.
On Tuesday, Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir called for action against the deputy commissioner (DC) of Multan, alleging mistreatment of his family during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match.
This incident unfolded during a PSL 9 match on February 26th, when the families of Mohammad Amir, Umar Amin, and Moin Khan were allegedly removed from the players’ box by district administration officials.
The Quetta Gladiators’ players and management strongly condemned the incident, demanding action from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) against such behavior.
Amir, who is representing Quetta Gladiators this season, emphasized the need for accountability and respect for players’ families during matches. He previously played for Karachi Kings for eight seasons before joining Quetta Gladiators.
“Shocked by the unacceptable behavior of the Deputy Commissioner of Multan, who reportedly mistreated my family, arrogantly claiming ownership of the ground & unjustly ejecting them during a match,” wrote Amir on X, formerly Twitter.
“This abuse of power is intolerable! Urging authorities for immediate action,” said the pacer, calling on newly-elected Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to take action against the administrative officer.

Following his tweet, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz reportedly contacted Amir to address the situation. In a subsequent tweet, Amir expressed his appreciation, stating, “All misunderstanding has been cleared by the Deputy Commissioner Multan himself. I sincerely appreciate it and extend my best wishes to you as you embark on your new journey.”
