The former team director expressed his views regarding the strictness on the cricketers during the tour of Australia.
In a special interview given to Cricket Pakistan, former captain Muhammad Hafeez said that as a team director, he did not impose any strictness on the cricketers, there are certain disciplines that have to be followed, but some wrong things were associated with me, now they have to tell the people. It is also known.
He said that during my work as a team director, I was targeted, things that were not my role were attributed to me. The matter of rigor was also added to this, how can a cricketer play cricket if he sleeps in the dressing room? If I said that no player will sleep in the dressing room during a match, I was wrong, we also take things in the right direction negatively.

In the tour of Australia and New Zealand, many similar things were associated with me, when Pakistan team has won against Australia in its history, but I tried my best.

Hafeez said that he came close to victory a couple of times during the tour but missed opportunities, it happens in cricket but if there was any lack of planning then I am responsible, as a director I still take responsibility for both tours. I put together a fragmented team, but I couldn’t deliver results in 2 months, my planning was for 4 years.
