The former team director of the national team, Muhammad Hafeez, opened his mouth on his removal from the post.
In a special interview given to Cricket Pakistan, former captain Muhammad Hafeez, on the question of the short stay as the team director and head coach, said that I was appointed for 4 years, the board authorities wanted me to be the team director until the next World Cup. However, the new management ended the contract within 2 months by dealing with the whole issue in a political manner.
He said that Pakistan did not do good for cricket by terminating the agreement, positive results will not come out if the decisions of the game are made in a political manner, what happened is unfortunate, but not me, but cricket was damaged. At first, Mickey Arthur was made the online coach, a decision that was not considered right by the board’s own people.
The former cricketer said, “I have only done the level one coaching course, so questions were raised about coaching. In this regard, people have a strange idea that my 20 years of cricket is not important. If I do a 5-day course, then coaching is not important.” I can qualify, experience and knowledge in my cricket was not valued”.
Hafeez said that “my job as a director was to make a strategy for the team and implement it through the coaches. For a short time, I did not want to come because nothing could be changed during that time.”
He further said that “what happened to me was a political decision, however, I wish Pakistan cricket well. Whatever decisions have been made, these people should be allowed to work for a long time so that they can implement their plans in the right way.” Can be done”.
When asked about the non-payment of dues, Mohammad Hafeez said that money is not among my priorities, the priority was the improvement of Pakistan cricket, there is a small amount which will be received from the board, it is not a problem.
