Imam apologises for his irresponsible acts

Imam-ul-Haq has been an integral part of the Pakistan squad for the recently concluded ICC World Cup 2019. He had a good outing in England scoring a fifty against Australia and a century against Bangladesh. However, soon after the World Cup, Imam found himself in deep water when a Twitter user leaked chats on social media accusing the cricketer of having multiple affairs with women and exploiting them.

“Imam was remorseful and has apologised for what all has happened. But we have told him in clear terms although this is his personal and private matter but we expect our players to adhere to the highest standards of ethics and discipline,” PCB MD Wasim Khan said.
