According to reports, Mohammad Hafeez bid farewell after the management ignored his and former skipper Misbah-ul-Haq’s recommendations regarding the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

Moreover, the committee was willing to include all-rounder Imad Wasim in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

He had suggested that Shadab Khan be removed as Vice Captain so there is less pressure on him. However, captain Babar Azam was adamant about keeping him in the position.

Mohammad Hafeez broke into the international scene in 2003. Since then, he represented Pakistan in 392 fixtures across all three formats (Test, ODI and T20I).

He scored 12,780 international runs with 21 centuries and 64 fifties to his name. His bowling figures are impressive as the off-spinner took 253 wickets as well.

The all-rounder was part of the side that won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 in England.

Moreover, Mohammad Hafeez played in domestic and overseas franchise competitions.
