Christchurch
New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan said players should not be blamed for the cancellation of the Kiwis’ tour of Pakistan as they only followed the advice of their government. The 35-year-old fast bowler reacted to batsman Mohammad Hafeez’s sarcastic tweet on the cancellation of the New Zealand team’s tour of Pakistan.
McClenaghan tweeted, ‘Accept the truth bro. Your tweet is not sending the right message. Don’t blame the players or the organization… blame our government. They (players and New Zealand cricket) just followed the advice they got. I am sure these young players wanted to play and prove themselves. He had no choice.
Hafeez had on Saturday ridiculed New Zealand Cricket for canceling the tour of Pakistan due to security reasons. Hafeez had tweeted, ‘Thank you to the security forces of Pakistan for making arrangements for the safe evacuation of the New Zealand team to the airport. Same way and same security but surprisingly there is no danger today.
The New Zealand team reached Pakistan on 11 September. This was his first tour of Pakistan in 18 years in which he was to play three ODIs and five T20 Internationals. But New Zealand Cricket on Friday canceled a tour of Pakistan ahead of the first ODI. The reason for this he described as a serious threat to the security of the team.
It’s a great insult brother… furious Inzamam scolded New Zealand, said – does anyone do this?
