“Dono sawalon ka jawab mere paas nahi hai” – Mohammad Hafeez aims dig at Pakistan for poor performances at T20 World Cup 2022
Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez
Former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez has expressed his frustration indirectly at the Pakistan team for their poor display at the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia. Babar Azam’s side are yet to open their account as they lost back-to-back games at the showpiece event.
The consecutive losses have put their chances of playing the semifinals in jeopardy. After losing a nail-biting encounter against arch-rivals India, they failed to chase 131 against Zimbabwe by 1 run. The defeats also raised many questions over their preparations for the title.
Hafeez shared a clip on his Twitter handle where the anchor asked him to provide some advice to the Pakistan team on improving strike rotation. And secondly, if the Men in Blue can reach the semifinals of the tournament. The host asked:
“Main Hafeez bhai se puchna chahata hu, number one, yeh jo strike rotation hai, running between the wickets hai woh kaise behetar ho sakti hai Pakistan ke perspective se, aur dusra, kya Pakistan semis tak pohoch sakta hai?” (I what ant to ask Hafeez, one, what does Pakistan need to do to improve strike rotation, and two, can Pakistan reach the semis?).
Passing simper, Hafeez said that he has no answer to either of the questions, referring that he is left with frustration and loss of words for the team. “Dono sawalon ke jawab mere paas nahi hai.” (I don’t have the answers to both the questions), he replied. His post captioned, When u r total clueless while being an expert”.

Haris Rauf opens up on Pakistan facing criticism
Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf reacted to the criticism that his team is facing post the losses. He feels that it’s part of any sport but the players are focusing on the tournament. He also said that they are not listening to ex-players and pundits’ comments, be it positive or negative.
“It is people’s job to talk, so they will talk. You face criticism in any sport you play. We have come here to play a tournament and our focus is on that. So we try not to listen to them (ex-players and pundits) much and play our game. Even some positive talk can hurt you and negative talk can also hurt you,” Rauf said.
The Men in Green need to win all three of their remaining games and hope for a couple of other results to fall their way. Although the equation is very unlikely, they are still in the race for the semis mathematically. Only time will tell whether they will be able to progress or not.
