Professor was trolled again for posting pictures of him bathing in mud in West Indies.

SAINT LUCIA (Dunya News) – Pakistani all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez once again attracted tons of trolling on social media after posting shirtless and mud-bathed pictures of him in Sulphur Springs, Saint Lucia.

Professor visited the Sulphur Springs along with his teammates from St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots who are competing in on-going Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2019.

Mud bath reportedly has health benefits. Sitting in warm, soft mud can relax the muscles and soothe the mind, which may provide some skin benefits. "As you reduce stress and calm your nerves, certain skin conditions may improve”, according to Piedmont Healthcare.

Since the concept of mud bathing isn’t common in Pakistan, it brought a lot of trolling for the Professor.

Earlier, Mohammad Hafeez, who failed to make it into the Pakistan team for Sri Lanka series, is playing in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) where he posted a picture of him relaxing in a pool with a sunset view but got trolled by Pakistani fans.

In August, Mohammad Hafeez was also left out from the 19 players list who were awarded central contracts by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the 2019-20 season. Currently, the 38-year-old is playing for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League 2019 (CPL).

On Sunday, the Pakistan all-rounder took to Twitter and posted pictures of his "Sunset view in beautiful St Lucia".

Professor’s post quickly garnered a lot of trolling from fans.

Many fans lambasted him for his performance in the recently concluded ICC World Cup 2019 and getting axed from upcoming SL series.

One of the fans accused him of copying Indian batsman Virat Kohli and advised him to copy his performance rather than his style.

One of the Twitteratis also trolled Shoaib Malik along with him and said that Pakistan team will touch sky after they were not given contracts by PCB.

Among the trolling, one of the user asked him to start performing in the CPL instead of chilling in the pool.

Hafeez was part of Pakistan‘ World Cup squad but has been kept off due to his commitments in the Caribbean Premier League, said head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq.

"He is not out of our plans," added Misbah. "Whoever is effective for the team will be included in the future."
