“4 to 5 players were sleeping in the locker room”: shocking revelation from a former Pakistani captain

Question marks have been raised over Pakistan’s intentions with a viral quote from coach Gary Kirsten claiming there “is no unity” in the Pakistan team.

Former Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Hafeez today raised question marks over the culture inside the team’s dressing room. He recounted an incident involving several Pakistani players in the dressing room.

“If a player is sleeping in a dressing room and we are playing Test cricket. If 4-5 players are sleeping in the dressing room, should I allow that as a selector?” Hafeez said during an online interaction with Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan.

Then Vaughan asked, “Were they tired?”

Hafeez replied, “I really don’t know. I went to the dressing room and found that 4-5 players were sleeping in the dressing room while they were playing Test cricket. I thought, ‘How come “Can you do that?” do something like that, you can’t be on this team. I want you to stay focused during the game and then outside of the game, whatever you do, it’s your own life, I never involve myself in it professional timings of the game, I want you to concentrate on the game. If you are a fast bowler, you can rest, take a good ice bath, but you have to concentrate. on the game of cricket, like how the other team does it too. You can’t switch off during the match, but unfortunately the media didn’t like it.
