Pakistan Cricket Board breaks ties with Mohammad Hafeez, snatches his post after just two series
Nothing is going right in Pakistan cricket. The phase of change that started after the disappointing performance in the World Cup 2023 is not showing signs of stopping. The team could not even reach the semi-finals of the tournament and could register only four wins. After this there was a reshuffle in the leadership also. Babar Azam stepped down from the captaincy and was replaced by Shan Masood for Test matches and Shaheen Afridi for T20 matches. Meanwhile, Mohammad Hafeez was appointed as the team director.
Hafeez removed from post
Mohammad Hafeez could not remain the director of Pakistan cricket team even for three months. He has been removed from the post.
