Hafeez replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012.
However, according to some media reports, Hafeez has a very authoritative approach, much to the displeasure of Whatmore and the senior players. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623, lashed out at Hafeez last month for not playing him in the semi-final
against Sri Lanka at Colombo.

captain.
In a statement from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 however, the former Australian cricketer has denied all such claims.
“I wish to clarify that I am currently not in Pakistan and have not given any interview or statement to any media. Neither have I submitted or discussed any such suggestion to any office in the PCB. The news item is totally incorrect and based on wrong intentions,”
Whatmore stated.
Whatmore replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.

The former Australian cricketer is geared up for Pakistan’s upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and hopes for a good show there. The series will comprise of three One Day Internationals and a couple of T20s.
He mentioned, “It is an attempt to demoralize the team when they are preparing for the all-important Indian tour. I consider this a case of irresponsible and below-standard reporting and regret its publication.”
