Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has come forward to clarify his recent comments on the country’s past cricket stars, asserting that his remarks were taken out of context and fabricated by certain media houses. Hafeez’s original statement, which seemed to criticise legendary cricketers from the 1990s and early 2000s for failing to win ICC events, sparked widespread debate among cricket enthusiasts and veterans alike.
Taking to X, Hafeez addressed the controversy, saying, "Some of the media houses are fabricating the actual content. Context of discussion was all about Teams winning ICC events to inspire coming generations. Therefore I explained how the greats of game from Pakistan with all the cricket talent they have couldn’t win ICC events (post 92 WC) in 1996, 1999 & 2003. It was never a personal criticism on any of the respective player from my side."
