Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s CEO Wasim Khan urged Pakistani players to behave like professional cricketers.
Reacting to reporters regarding Twitter spat between two of the former Pakistani captains – Mohammad Hafeez and Sarfaraz Ahmed, Khan said professional cricketers are responsible for their acts but they should care about the country’s image.
“We have fulfilled our responsibility by telling them all the protocols. Now, they are responsible for their acts. They are professional cricketers, and they should behave like professionals because, in the end, it’s all about the country’s reputation,” he said.

It must be noted here that Hafeez jibed at Sarfaraz while praising Mohammad Rizwan’s performance on Twitter.

Minutes after his Tweet, Sarfaraz hit back at him and asked him to respect all the players.
Hafeez bhai Sb, whoever has played for Pakistan from Imtiaz Ahmed, Wasim Bari, Tasleem Arif to Saleem Yousuf and from Moin Khan, Rashid Latif to Kamran Akmal and even Rizwan right now has always been number ONE for the country and have been respected accordingly. https://t.co/dF7BScOurl
