*ISLAMABAD - Pakistan opening batsman Imam ul Haq breaks silence over the nepotism charges.*
*Huq has said that the nepotism criticism that he was barraged with being the nephew of Pakistan former captain and current chief selector Inzamam ul Haq, ‘pissed’ him off.*
“To be honest, it is very hurtful, as a youngster you come into international cricket with a lot of expectations from your family, and I had a great first class season but this kind of criticism is very hurtful.”
“I won’t lie but this kind of criticism really pissed me off,” said Imam, quoted *ESPNcricinfo*.
Since making his international debut back in 2017, Imam has seen a lot of success in One Day Internationals (ODIs), with four centuries including a ton on debut and three fifties in just 16 ODIs and an average of over 60, the 22 years old has managed to cement his place in 50-overs side. However, the youngster has yet to see similar success in Test cricket.
