Previously the Pakistani players had travelled to England in the summer on a chartered flight since of the Covid-19 circumstance but the fees have been borne by the England Cricket Board.

“True we are meant to be ambassadors of the place but I never assume we have been taken care of like that in New Zealand. The mindset retained with us was not suitable and we had been handled like prisoners.”

Hafeez reported the two-months expended in quarantine was like time expended in jail for the players and officials.

“It was not quick for us to get ready for the T20 matches right after paying time in jail ailments and we experienced just days just before the very first match.”
