In Case You Don’t Know:

Earlier, there was a spat between the selectors and the head coach Mickey Arthur, who ignored the selection of Mohammad Hafeez in the Pakistan side. Subsequently, PCB removed Hafeez from the squad for Asia Cup 2018, where the team performed poorly.

The reports from Pakistan media also cited former skipper Misbah Ul Haq is behind the Mickey Arthur’s plan of removing Hafeez from the ODI format of the game. It also played an instrumental role in PCB accepting Hafeez’s snub.

However, they called him back for the Test matches against Australia followed by the T20I series as well. Now, he was also picked for ODI matches against the Kiwis and is pretty much in the scheme for ICC World Cup 2019.

All in all, it seems like things have been sorted out in Pakistan Cricket. Now, it is all up to Mohammad Hafeez to stable his place in the side.
