PCB 'disappointed' with Mohammad Hafeez sharing Covid-19 test result publicly.

LAHORE -- Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) CEO Wasim Khan expressed his disappointment over veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez's decision to publicly share his negative Covid-19 test report, a day after he was tested positive under the board's round of testing.

Wasim, in a YouTube video, said that Hafeez's handling of the issue took the PCB by surprise but noted that it was not the first instance when the cricketer named breached social media protocol.

The 39-year-old cast doubt over the credibility of the tests conducted by the PCB when he took to Twitter, without the board's knowledge, to post his negative results.

"I spoke to Hafeez today and I made it clear to him our disappointment at the way he had handled this entire affair. As an individual, he has a right to take a private test but he should have spoken to us first because he created a problem for us. This is not the first time that Hafeez has breached our rules in the media," Wasim said.

Wasim revealed that Hafeez's approach caused issues to the board and added that the board was in works of taking "the next steps".

"He doesn't have a central contract but once he was selected for the Pakistan team he has to abide by the rules and regulations for all players especially pertaining to the use of social media. We are still looking at the matter because it has caused us a lot of problems," the PCB CEO said.
