“I will be personally speaking to Mohammad Hafeez about that and I don’tthink it’s his place to be doing it. No other player in the world does thatso why should our Pakistani players do that?’’ questioned Wasim.
‘‘I don’t think they have any space to do that and I don’t think theyshould be doing that. That’s my personal view. Coming from an Englishenvironment, I never saw an English player tweet about policies,procedures, talking about other players’ right or wrong.’’
