Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has taken a jab at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following their recent board meeting, which gathered many former cricketers to discuss solutions for improving the national team after a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign.

The high-level meeting took place on July 9th at a hotel on Mall Road, Lahore. Chaired by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, the meeting aimed to harness the insights and suggestions of experienced players to enhance Pakistan's cricket infrastructure.

More than fifteen former Test and international cricketers participated in the discussion, offering a range of recommendations to strengthen the country's cricket framework. 

Notable attendees included Salman Butt, Ijaz Ahmed, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Basit Ali, Intikhab Alam, Asim Kamal, Mohammad Sami, Shafiq Papa, Yasir Hameed, Saleem Altaf, Haroon Rasheed, Yasir Shah, Sikandar Bakht, Wajahatullah Wasti, and Azhar Khan.

One major issue raised was the team combination and selection during the recent ICC T20 World Cup. Several cricketers voiced their dissatisfaction with the team's composition, highlighting an imbalance due to an overabundance of openers and a lack of dependable middle-order batters.

Former PCB official Aalia Rasheed expressed her support for Mohammad Hafeez on the social media platform 'X,' criticising the board for not inviting him. 

"Mohammad Hafeez raised his concerns over the lack of fitness & discipline. Being a Team Director, he desperately wanted Team Pakistan to follow the international standards of professionalism. Alas! The new chairman never invited him to discuss the issues & his ideas," Aalia posted.

In response, Hafeez replied, "We live in a society where Abdullah ki baat Samajh nahee aate aur Micheal & Tom sab such kahta hai."
