Mohammad Hafeez accuses the PCB of ‘making deals’ with 2 Pakistan stars

Former Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Hafeez called the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ‘greedy’ and even accused them to “making deals” with players like Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim to include them in the squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. 

Following Pakistan’s six-run loss to India in the T20 World Cup 2024, Hafeez said that even though Wasim and Amir never play domestically, they are preferred for big tournaments in place of cricketers who perform consistently.

“They (PCB) brought them here out of greed, made deals with such players (Amir and Wasim) who have ruined Pakistan’s cricket. I was in the domestic circuit, but no one wants to play domestic cricket. It is because they were telling me that ‘any of us gets selected, we will take it.,” Hafeez said.

“When asked to play for Pakistan six months ago, they said they wanted to play in franchise leagues around the world. Since that no leagues are happening these days, they are playing in the World Cup. They are playing in the World Cup as if it is just another league,” he added.

Amir retired from international cricket in 2020 while Wasim bid farewell to the sport in 2023. However, both cricketers decided to make a comeback in 2024.
