Teefa could be in trouble here!

That's breaking bio-secure guidelines

Southampton, 12 August 2020:

The following is the Pakistan men’s national cricket team’s statement on Mohammad Hafeez:

“This morning, Mohammad Hafeez went to a golf course, which is adjacent to the team hotel and part of the bio-secure bubble. During the golf round, he was photographed with a member of the public, which he subsequently posted on his social media account.

“As it was evident from the photograph that Hafeez had breached the two-metre social distancing protocol and following a consultation process with the team doctor, the team management has decided to isolate him until he returns a negative Covid-19 test.

“Hafeez underwent the Covid-19 test late Wednesday afternoon and the result is expected at some stage on Thursday.

“The decision to put Hafeez in isolation has been taken for his and, the safety and security of everyone around him. The team management believes it was an inadvertent mistake, but a good reminder for everyone on the importance of following the bio-secure protocols, which have been designed for the health and safety of everyone involved in the series.

“The team management has updated the England and Wales Cricket Board of its decision.”

Hafeez is not amongst the 20 players shortlisted for the ongoing three-match Test series against England.

Don't worry he will still manage to play t20s

 

[MenInG]

Hafeez in trouble - see Post #1

 

[sweep_shot]

Wow!

This is irresponsible from Hafeez.

 

[coy0607]

Hafeez must be such a pain for the PCB. Its almost like he's purposely antagonizing them.
Just baffling how a non-performer is able to keep his place in the team after countless gaffes

 

[Shafi]

There is a good possibility he may be captain of our T20 side in 2021 T20 and 2023 T20 and 50 overs World Cup.

 

[Down2Earth]

Why are the PCB still dragging him around. Isn't it time they looked forward. And how dumb could some people be or are they simply unaware of what social distancing is

 

[topspin]

Hafeez has got himself in trouble and this time round Mamoon cannot defend him for doing something indefensible.

 

[MenInG]

Can someone explain how an old lady managed to stand next to Hafeez when, as per PCB, "This morning, Mohammad Hafeez went to a golf course, which is adjacent to the team hotel and part of the bio-secure bubble."

Can't help but laugh.

The old lady is equally culpable. I wonder which one asked the other for a selfie.

 

[Major]

If jofra can get away for meeting his gf, than hopefully hafeez is just given a warning and nothing else

According to an article i lead the golf club is opened to public aswell and the players could also go there but they are not allowed to be taking pictures or standing near.

Makes you wonder how is this all biosecure. Corona stays on surfaces and anyone infected could leave traces od it on counters or golf clubs

Golf clubs have been open in Pakistan for months now. They are actually very safe as long as you maintain social distancing and obviously avoid touching surfaces.

This is quite stupid by Hafeez and he should be punished accordingly.

Pretty sure they don't hire out golf club and any kind of check in (which the players may not even need to do given they're in the hotel) is outdoors.

This PCBS fault, WK should have been following MH with a tape measure.

 

[Executioner]

It's a Desi thing, people don't take corona seriously.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I doubt Misbah is gonna punish Hafeez. He's still gonna play t20I.

 

[Major]

Why would misbah punish hafeez? Seriously what the hell do you guys think misbah is? Pcb chairman or team manager?

Seriously, u lot are gonna blame this breech on him to?

 

[Majid Khan]

If it wasn’t for his proven ability to score 100s against the best fast bowlers in the world and win matches single handedly from the jaws of defeat , I’m sure the PCB would have moved on from the ‘Bradman of Sargodha’ a long time ago.

 

[Saj]

So you breach protocol.

Put people's lives in danger.

Put your own life in danger.

Then put it on social media.

Words fail me.

Absolutely - looks like a farce to me this golf club being part of the bio secure thing.

 

[HitWicket]

Absolutely - looks like a farce to me this golf club being part of the bio secure thing.

It's a massive golf course with staggered start times, the only way you're going to interact with someone is if you make a conscious decision to do so.

Especially when you think this is the same player who barely a month ago made a big deal about the PCB tests certifying him as Covid positive , and went as far as breaking self isolation and taking private tests from a rival testing lab to the one used by PCB and publishing the whole thing on social media — if there was anyone who should have been more circumspect and cautious after getting on the plane to England at the last minute, it should have been Hafeez.

 

[Bewal Express]

Can't they just test him?

 

[Zaz]

Can't they just test him?

the virus can take several days to show in test n the body

For someone so experienced and called the professor for his intelligence and everything thats happened with him re testing etc this was not a very clever thing to do

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I'm tired of Hafeez and his attitude. This is not the first time he has acted with such arrogance. This time though it comes with a complete disregard for his team-mates. Why can't we just get rid of this clown? Especially now that the T20 WC is a year away.

Don't know what it is with certain senior Pakistani players. At some point they just come to the conclusion that they are above the team. That the rules for the other guys just don't apply to them.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

That is factually not correct. Look at the defiance of corona restrictions in many of the biggest economies and you will know it is not a desi thing at all.

We are just always hard on ourselves which doesn’t help.

On topic, Hafeez’s right arm looks straight.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Isnt this the second time hes done something like this. He clearly doesnt comprehend the meaning of social distancing. Boot him out ASAP

 

[shamaan]

Things never change with some people

 

[Saj]

Can't they just test him?

They have.

Results due tomorrow.

 

[Majid Khan]

He should be tested with short pitched 95mph bouncers with Dr. D.Steyn from SA at one end and Dr. J. Archer of England at the other end. That will certainly get a definitive result although I suspect he might ask for re-tests from Zimbabwe or Bangladesh’s finest General Practitioners.

 

[Nervesofsteel]

Hafeez loves taking pics with people. He is a very friendly & social person. But this is beyond pathetic. Why would you do something like this & then post it on Twitter when you are supposed to be in a bio secure bubble. Childish behavior at its best and he must be punished.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Couldn't help myself but to laugh, found this hilarious )

 

[Kroll]

The professor, does what he wants, whenever he wants.

 

[Third Man]

Haha. Thanks for the laugh.

 

[moghul]

Is she Hafeez's schoolmate ?

 

[Rana]

Cringe fascination with Golf

 

[Gullycricket]

Hope he gets socially distant from our teams also for ever

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

LOL....sorry for the laugh....but this is hilarious....Gee whiz Hafeez Professor sahab...what have you done....seriously...

 

[Indiafan]

Ok I am confused. Didn't he test positive and then negative? Which means he probably already had it at some stage and has recovered? So he is unlikely to get it again or be a carrier?
