However, Pakistan Cricket Board recently announced the list of central contracted players. Hafeez, who featured in category A faced a demotion who occupies category B in the new menu.

However, the veteran said he is playing for Pakistan with respect and pride, and not for money.

Following his demotion, many television channels claim Mohammad Hafeez has other plans. However, they contended that Hafeez has decided to hang his boots.

However, with his latest Tweet, it seems there was no factual information, and that was merely a hoax. The 37-year-old all-rounder said he is happy to serve his beloved country while staying at any category.

Mohammad Hafeez further added he is ready to help Pakistan irrespective of being in a particular group.

Babar Azam faced promotion in the central contract
