Mike Hesson agent of India?
The performance of Pakistan team on the England tour has been disappointing so far. After the bad defeat in the first two Tests, Pakistan is in a bad situation in the third Test also. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has directly called the team’s new foreign Test coach an ‘Indian agent’ without taking anyone’s name. He says that any foreign coach who has worked in the Indian Premier League i.e. IPL cannot be loyal to Pakistani cricket. Let us tell you that Mike Hesson has worked as a coach with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. On this basis, Rashid Latif claimed that maybe he was associated with Pakistan cricket team for some purpose. However, he also admitted that he had no proof of this.
‘Sent to Pakistan as an agent’
Rashid Latif said that IPL is a big tournament. People who join this come in contact with many big people. He expressed doubt that these people could be made agents and sent to Pakistan. These people can cause a lot of harm to Pakistan cricket. Rashid further said that he believes that PCB should investigate thoroughly before appointing foreign coaches. Now there is an uproar on social media over his statement. Cricket fans are trolling Rashid Latif a lot for this statement.
