Actually, Hafeez was made the director of the team after the poor performance in the ICC World Cup 2023. During his tenure, the team had to face a 3-0 defeat in the Test series against Australia. After this, they had to face a 4-1 defeat in the 5-match T20I series against New Zealand. In view of this poor performance, Hafeez was removed from this post and now he has made a big disclosure about the team. The former all-rounder has made a big statement while talking to Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan on the Club Parry Fire YouTube channel.

He said, “When I became the director of Pakistan's cricket team, I went to the dressing room. At that time I saw that 4-5 players were sleeping there while playing Test cricket. I was just thinking how can these people do this. If you do something like this, then you cannot be a part of this team. I want all the players to keep their focus during the game. Whatever you do is your life and I do not want to get involved in it at all, but you cannot do this during the game. At that time you should only focus on the game.”

The former Pakistani player said, “You tell me, if a player is sleeping in the dressing room and we are playing Test cricket, should I, as a team director, allow this? 4-5 players were sleeping in the dressing room and no one liked me speaking against it. Not only this, unfortunately the media also did not like it.”
