PCB Chairman Raja lauds Hafeezās āstrong work ethicā
PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja, who has had his war of words with Hafeez over the years, lauded him for his āstrong work ethicā and said heād adjusted well in all the three formats of the game.
āHis game evolved with time, adjusting to different formats quite intelligently,ā Raja is quoted as saying byĀ Associated Press. āLater in his career, he became a T20 specialist, where he was never out of touch with modern demands of this testing format. His batsmanship took a sprightly turn, nailing sixes almost at will.ā
Hafeez, also known as the Professor, began his professional cricket career in 2003. He will be remembered more for his exploits in white-ball cricket, especially in T20s, where he was ranked the number one all-rounder in the world in 2014.
His last match in Pakistan colours was the World Cup 2021 semi-final defeat to Australia when he came in to bat at the very end of the innings and finished unbeaten on 1 run off 1 ball. His most notable contribution in that game was a bizarre double-tip ball that Australiaās David Warner smacked for a six.
