Hafeez hid injury before WT20, Afridi often skipped team sessions, reveals Waqar
The head coach declared Moin Khan behind grouping in the team.
LAHORE (Web Desk) – Head coach Waqar Younis on Wednesday submitted a report to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan about his team’s abject performance in the last few months.
The head coach is clearly not happy with the way the players have responded or shown improvement in their game.
While opening the Pandora’s box, Waqar alleged that star batsman Mohammad Hafeez kept secret his injury before World Twenty20 while the captain Shahid Afridi also didn’t participate in maximum team meetings and practices.
The former pacer revealed that some players in the squad were not ready to co-operate with the coaching staff. He said they were also not able to implement the game plan given by the coach.
Waqar Younis said Team Manager Moin Khan has badly ruined dressing room’s environment as he took gifts from the players.
He further declared Moin behind grouping in the team.
Shahid Afridi’s inability to be an effective captain was also highlighted by Younis in the report.
The report has been dispatched to fact-finding committee that includes Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq and senior batsman Younis Khan.
The committee is likely to take action after hearing the point of views of every blamed person.
Waqar Younis was also responsible for the poor performance of the team as he selected out of form Nasir Jamshed in World Cup 2015 as a substitute of Mohammad Hafeez and refused to list Sarfraz Ahmed in playing XI.
On the other hand, He also uttered disappointing words by saying that: “My team doesn’t deserve to be in semi-finals”.
Earlier, Head coach Waqar Younis had apologized to nation over team’s poor performance in ongoing mega event International Cricket Council World Twenty20.
"If my leaving makes things better, then I would do it without delay," he said.
Pakistan were knocked out of the World T20 after failing to qualify for the semi-finals as they lost three out of their four group matches.
They only managed to win two matches in the Asia Cup.
