After not getting a formal answer to a notification about an unfounded claim of first place in the 2025 Asian Youth Netball Championship, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has taken additional action against the Pakistan Netball Federation.
The federation was given a show-cause notice, which asked why an Rs. 1 million fine shouldn’t be applied. The notice came after the PSB requested in a previous letter dated July 13 that the federation provide a 72-hour explanation for the errors. No response was sent in the allotted time.
The PSB claims that this silence could be taken as an acknowledgement of deception. The Netball Federation wrote to the board on July 9 to request a monetary reward for winning first place.

The PSB claims that the incorrect statement was also made in public remarks and media interviews. The board has threatened to take unilateral action if no response is received within seven days.
