Mohammad Hafeez not bound by any code of conduct: Aamer Sohail

India TV News  

Mohammad Hafeez not bound by any code of conduct: Aamer Sohail Sohail said the entire matter of testing players was handled badly by PCB and Hafeez cannot be pulled up for going public with his result as he is not a centrally contracted player. Former Pakistan batsman Aamer Sohail has backed Mohammad Hafeez who is under the scanner for going public with his personal COVID-19 result after he tested positive as per Pakistan Cricket Board results. "And to expect Mohammad Hafeez to not go public with results of his COVID-19 test when PCB had announced that he had tested positive would be unrealistic as he is not bound by any code of conduct which would be the case if he was a centrally contracted player," the 53-year old former southpaw pointed. Sohail also criticised spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed, saying the former Pakistan leggie has to repay Pakistan Cricket Board's consistent faith in him.
