The sword of being out of T20 World Cup 2026 hangs over Pakistan. After losing to England, Pakistan has now become dependent on the results of the matches of other teams. The path for Salman Ali Aga and team to reach the semi-finals is now very difficult. After the defeat on Tuesday, the veterans of Pakistan are angry at the Pakistani players. During a live show on a TV channel, a heated argument was seen between Saqlain Mushtaq and Mohammad Hafeez. Hafeez questioned Saqlain about Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan.
The anchor of the show asked Saqlain Mushtaq that our team is expecting the batsmen to bowl and the bowlers to bat, hence there is no place for many players. So is this thing going in the wrong direction? In response to this, Saqlain said, “Tactic depends more on bowling, Abrar was not in my playing 11 because there was no balance in the team. Babar had to go to open, I was giving rest to Saim Ayub. Fakhar was at fourth place. Today there was an error in our tactics, due to which mistakes were made. We removed Tariq Ahmed after getting him one over.”
Heated debate between Hafeez and Saqlain Mushtaq
While Saqlain Mushtaq was speaking, Mohammad Hafeez stopped him and said, “I have just one question for you, because you have also done Pakistan level coaching. Will you take Mohammad Nawaz as a batting all-rounder or a bowling all-rounder?”
Saqlain said in response, “I think he is equally good in both.” On hearing this, Hafeez said, “So he should play at number five, if he is good at batting.” Saqlain said, “He has been used at number five, I have also played him at this number.
Mohammad Hafeez kept asking him the same question, do you think he is a batting all-rounder? But instead of giving a direct answer, Saqlain kept saying that he does well in both. Then Hafeez said, “See, I have also played for Pakistan, my priority was my batting. My captain used to tell me that I do not want your overs, you should bat well.”

Questions raised on Saqlain’s son-in-law also
Meanwhile, Hafeez also took the name of Saqlain Mushtaq’s son-in-law Shadab Khan in it. He said, “My primary job was my batting. Similarly, Nawaz’s primary job is his bowling. Shadab’s primary job is his bowling. Saim Ayub’s primary job is his batting. If he is not doing that then we do not want such players.”
