Serious financial irregularities have emerged from a baseball training camp held between 3 July 2023 and 8 September 2023, raising questions over payment transparency and fund distribution among participating athletes.

According to available details, each player was entitled to Rs 24,000 as camp remuneration. However, the payment process appears inconsistent, non-transparent, and allegedly discriminatory.

Only three players, identified as Shazia, Nasira, and Paracha, reportedly received full payments. Another player, Gul Pari, was issued a cheque, but the amount has not yet been credited to her bank account.

In contrast, at least 14 players, including Saman Shah, Sawera, Mahanoor, Sidra Khattak, Hina Kishwar, Kainat Akbar, Asma, Rameen, Arij, Khair-un-Nisa, Nida, Mubina, Muqaddas, and Shamim, reportedly received neither cheques nor any form of payment.

The situation becomes more questionable as some cheques were reportedly issued in 2024, long after the conclusion of the camp, raising concerns about administrative delay and financial mismanagement.

Affected players claim they repeatedly followed up on the issue but were given no clear explanation regarding payment delays or the criteria used for disbursement.

Officials linked to the camp maintain that the payments were “non-governmental.” However, this claim has further intensified concerns, as questions remain about the source of funds, the basis on which cheques were issued, and why only selected players were paid.

Players have demanded a transparent and independent investigation, full disclosure of financial records, and immediate clearance of all outstanding dues. Sports governance experts warn that unresolved cases of this nature can significantly damage trust in sports institutions and discourage athlete participation.

Is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate for Sports Development or Profit?

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan – Kikxnow , digital Creator The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate is back in the limelight again — this time for the same reasons: bad financial management, discrimination against sportspersons, and no basic facilities. The recent controversy revolves around the Adil Khan Swimming Pool, where the administration has requested money for chlorine from individuals visiting to learn swimming. This request emerged even though the Directorate recently made a profit of Rs. 12 million from this very same swimming pool alone. The question is: if so much money has already been raised, why are the public and athletes being requested to pay for fundamentals such as chlorine? Surprisingly, the revenue of the Hayatabad Sports Complex swimming pool goes unused, but things are no different there. A few days ago, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Swimming Association made an appeal to the Director General of Sports, asking for facilities to train swimmers so they could prepare ...
