‘It really hurt. PCB must take action’: Disappointed Hafeez lashes out at Faulkner’s ‘wrong allegations’ on PSL

Former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafez attacked Australian all-rounder James Faulkner on Monday over his “false allegations” in a Pakistan Premier League payment dispute.

Forkner, who has played six games for the Quetta Gladiators this season, claimed earlier last week that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had failed to honour his contract and “continued to lie to him” before withdrawing from the tournament. He even called PCB and PSL’s treatment of him a “disgrace”.

Hafez admitted in an interview with Sama TV that he was disappointed with Forkner’s attitude after sharing the dressing room with him in his final season in the PSL. The veteran cricketer added that in the last seven seasons of the game, he had never encountered complaints from players about payment issues, let alone foreign batsmen, and he believed the PCB should address the issue.

“As a Pakistani, it’s really painful. Because we look after and respect foreign players in a way that I haven’t seen anywhere in the world. That’s why it hurts, mostly because I didn’t expect Faulkner It will be. We played a season together last year and I thought he was professional. But again, it’s not good if an incident like this happens because of his attitude. I haven’t heard anything in the last seven seasons Complaints from Pakistani cricketers or any overseas players about financial issues. I feel the allegations about Pakistani cricket are false and PCB needs to act,” he said.

Forkner apologized to Pakistani cricket fans in his social media posts before leaving the game.

“My apologies to the Pakistani cricket fans. But unfortunately I had to withdraw from the last 2 games and leave @thePSLt20 because @TheRealPCB didn’t honor my contractual agreement/payment. I’ve been here and they have been lying to me. Leave It hurts because I want to help bring international cricket back to Pakistan because there’s a lot of young talent there and the fans are great. But the treatment I’ve gotten from @TheRealPCB is disgraceful, @thePSLt20. I’m sure you all understand me stance,” he tweeted.

In response to Faulkner’s allegations, the PCB slammed the cricketer for his “reprehensible” behaviour before announcing he had been banned from any future PSL drafts.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
