Speaking in a virtual press conference, Misbah-ul-Haq said that Hafeez’s absence will definitely impact Pakistan, given the form he is in, at present.
The 40-year-old Mohammad Hafeez was not named in Pakistan’s squad as he is currently taking part in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. He won’t be available to join the national team’s bio-bubble on February 3.
“We are managing Shaheen Afridi’s workload" - Misbah-ul-Haq
Reflecting on his fast bowlers’ workload, Misbah-ul-Haq refuted claims that Shaheen Afridi was being overworked. The 46-year-old maintained that the left armer’s fitness is not under any sort of danger.
When asked about his future as the head coach of the national team, Misbah-ul-Haq said that his focus is right now on Pakistan’s upcoming Test against South Africa. He added that thinking about his future will only build unnecessary pressure on him.
Pakistan are scheduled to play South Africa in a three-match T20I series after the conclusion of the ongoing Test series between the two sides. The 2nd and last Test match starts on Thursday at Rawalpindi.
