Hafeez: Corrupt players should never be allowed to represent country

The Hindu  

Pakistan's former captain Mohammad Hafeez, who announced his retirement from international cricket on Monday, said that players found guilty of corruption in the sport should never be allowed to represent their country. Hafeez told a media conference in Lahore after announcing his retirement that he stood by his stance that players who "fix matches and betray their country" should never be allowed to play. "To me, the biggest disappointment and hurt of my career was when I and Azhar Ali took a principled stand on this issue, but we were told by the board chairman that if we don't want to play, fine, but the concerned player will play," Hafeez said. Hafeez also made it clear that his retirement had nothing to do with the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja's stance that he and Shoaib Malik should have retired after the 2019 World Cup.
