Former Pakistan captain Insamam-ul-Haq launched a terrible attack on former Allrounder Mohammad Hafeez for his comments that questioned the achievements of Pakistani players from the time of the 1990s.
Insomam-ul-Haq believes that the big Pakistani players from the time of the 1990s like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis carry a great weight, and the Kripket Pakistan will not be so great without them.

Insomam-ul-Haq Slams Mohammad Hafeez
During interaction with journalists on the eve of the PSL 2025 season, Insomam-ul-Haq asked about Mohammad Hafeez’s comments on Pakistani cries from the time of the 1990s. Insomam, who is the player himself in the 1990s, scored Hafeez for his comments.
The former Pakistani skipper recalled all the achievements of big players from the 1990s and claimed that Pakistani cricket would not be difficult in their absence. Insomam-ul-Haq also advised Hafeez to refrain from saying such things in the future.
“If you take out the players from the 1990s, then the Kripket Pakistan would not have too much weight. Those who won something after the 1990s were also only from that time. The captain who won the World Cup was also from the 1990s, the performers were also from the 1990s,” he recorded Insomam-Ul-Ha.
“Pakistan from the 1990s has a great weight. So no one should say such things. I didn’t listen (Hafeez’s comment) live and I have no idea what context he was saying. But we all know how players from the 1990s played at the time,” he added.

What did Mohammad Hafeez say about the players of the 1990s?
Previously, Mohammad Hafeez brutally dug up Pakistani players from the time of the 1990s because he did not win any trophy during his time. Although he called himself big fans of these players, he admitted that players like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis did not leave the legacy for the upcoming generation.
“I am a big fan of those who played in the 1990s, but when it comes to heritage, they left nothing for Pakistan. They did not win the ICC event – they lost (World Cup) in 1996, 1999 and 2003. We reached one final (in the 1999 World Cup) and lost it badly on PTV sports.
Hafeez indirectly dug the legendary Krixetters of Pakistan Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis for criticizing the current generation, although they did not win any major trophy during his time.
Pakistani Poor Ride in CT 2025
The Pakistani cricket team endured a lean race in the 2025 champion trophy, where they failed to reach semifinals. It was a new low for the cricket Pakistan, because they failed well, despite being hosting.
Pakistan lost his first two games in New Zealand, that is, India, which ended further hopes for qualifying. Their third game against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi was washed over the rain.
