The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) intervened in Mohammad Hafeez and Sarfaraz Ahmed's Twitter spat and "resolved" it, sources informed Geo News on Saturday.
The PCB's team management, during a meeting with the players, advised them to not enjoys such acts as they expressed their "displeasure" over the matter, sources added.
The Hafeez vs Sarfaraz debate was triggered after Hafeez’s congratulatory tweet to Muhammad Rizwan during which he had hit indirectly at his former skipper prompting a robust response from him.
Hafeez tweeted on Thursday to understand Rizwan for his ton and said, “Congratulations @iMRizwanPak on scoring T20 Hundred points. U r a Star shining star. Wonder how long u got to prove that u r NO1 wicketkeeper/Batsman in Pakistan altogether formats of the game”.
This prompted a response from Sarfaraz who has not been included within the playing XI.
“Hafeez bhai Sb, whoever has played for Pakistan from Imtiaz Ahmed, Wasim Bari, Tasleem Arif to Saleem Yousuf and from Moin Khan, Rashid Latif to Kamran Akmal and even Rizwan immediately has always been favorite for the country and are respected accordingly,” he tweeted to Hafeez.
Sarfaraz noted that everybody is behind Rizwan and wished he plays more amazing innings for Pakistan.
“Aur ayende bhee jisko bhee chance milega wo Pakistan ke liye favorite hee huga. (And whoever is given an opportunity to play would be no 1 for Pakistan).”
The former skipper also urged Hafeez to not create divisions. “We expect nothing but positiveness coming from a world player who has played numerous games for Pakistan.”
Former players and experts have also been commenting on the matter since Rizwan emerged as a pillar for the cricket team and rescued it at different occasions.
