Mohammad Hafeez upset by ‘lack of education’ remark by PCB Chairman

Senior Pakistani players are reportedly angry after Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Shaharyar Khan said that the  absence of educated players in the team is a primary reason for its recent downfall.
Pakistani opener Mohammad Hafeez took to twitter to express his disappointment over the comment.
“I am proud to be a Test cricketer and for me this is my degree,” Hafeez said on the social media a clear reference to Khan’s remarks.

 

Pakistan are scheduled to tour England in July and the senior batsman has assured everyone that Pakistan’s Test squad would perform well even in English conditions.

 

Hafeez is currently undergoing a rehabilitation for a knee problem at the national academy in Lahore and as a result, he has missed the boot camp in Kabul.
Reports are suggesting that that many player attending the boot camp are not amused by the PCB chief’s remarks but have decided to keep quiet about it publicly. They will though convey their feelings to the authorities privately.
Talking to the media in Quetta last Thursday,  Shaharyar Khan had said that presently only Misbah-ul-Haq was a proper graduate in the team.

“There is no graduate player in the team right now except for Misbah and the absence of educated players in the team is a primary reason for its recent downfall,” he had said.

Khan rued the fact that Pakistan had slipped badly in One-day internationals and T20 cricket.

“In future, we will do our best to induce and encourage educated players into the team and also try to groom an existing lot of talent.”
