Former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez might not be wearing the green jersey anymore, but he’s still deeply invested in the team’s future. And he’s not staying quiet about it either.
In a refreshing move, Hafeez recently launched a fan-driven campaign on X (formerly Twitter), called #AskProfessor, where he responded to cricket lovers across the globe.
From tactical suggestions to strong opinions, Hafeez covered a lot—especially about Pakistan’s current T20 landscape. Let’s break down some of the key takeaways from this candid session.
Usman Khan vs Sahibzada Farhan?
With the Usman vs Farhan debate heating up in PSL 10, Hafeez didn’t pick sides. Instead, he delivered a golden piece of advice that applies to both.
“First thing [that] gets challenged at professional level is ur TECHNIQUE,” he wrote. “Need to improve it every day.”
Simple, but on point. Both batters have impressed in domestic and franchise cricket, but the international stage demands more. Hafeez believes it’s not about one replacing the other—it’s about who adapts and polishes their fundamentals.
Saim Ayub & Abdullah Shafique: Pakistan’s Bright Future
While others debated the current squad, Mohammad Hafeez looked ahead. He singled out Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique as the future of Pakistan cricket.
“May they stay away from all distractions,” he added—a subtle reminder of the challenges that come with early fame.
Hafeez even placed his confidence in Saim as a long-term option for Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, especially at the top of the order.

On Babar & Rizwan: Talent Isn’t Enough, Evolution is Key
The former skipper didn’t shy away from discussing two of Pakistan’s most talked-about names—Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
“They are quality players… but they need to upgrade their approach and skills,” Hafeez said.
He acknowledged their match-winning ability but urged both to evolve with the pace of modern-day T20 cricket. In a format that demands aggression and adaptability, Hafeez’s advice hits home.
Mohammad Hafeez also didn’t hold back when defending Rizwan from recent online trolling over his English-speaking skills.
“Sad to see people shaming a star for his language ability. Very sad.” It was a necessary reminder that skill, not accent, defines a cricketer’s worth.
