Sports Desk: After a three-match T20 series, Pakistan and New Zealand will now face each other in a Test series. However, Pakistan's experienced all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez returned home after a limited overs series.

Because he retired long before the Test. He was Pakistan's highest run-getter in the T20 series with 140 runs off 160 strikeouts. However, the experience after going to New Zealand was not good at all for the entire Pakistan team including Hafeez. They had to stay in compulsory quarantine for 14 days due to coronavirus. Hafiz had a negative experience there.

According to him, the whole group has been treated like prisoners in quarantine. Hafeez made the allegation in a television interview back in the country. "Honestly, we were the country's representatives there," he said. But I don't think we've had much fun in New Zealand. The way it was used with us, it was not right. We have been treated like prisoners.

' Not only that, it was not easy to get down to play T20 in a very short practice after two weeks of quarantine, said Hafeez. "It was not at all easy for us to prepare for the T20 from being a prisoner," he said. We only got a few days before the first match. ' Note that Pakistan lost 1-2 in the three-match T20 series. The hosts New Zealand secured the series by winning the first two matches.

However, the visitors avoided whitewash by winning the last match. Meanwhile, during the tour of New Zealand, Hafeez also revealed that the team members were positive one by one. At least 10 members of the Pakistan team were infected with the coronavirus from the start of the tour to the start of the series. That is why there was a fear of canceling the tour.

laming low-quality flights for the incident, Hafeez said, "I think the players have been infected with the coronavirus because they traveled on commercial planes. Because some had to travel in economy class. There was no plague of social distance. Even the warnings were low. That's why the players may have been infected with the virus. '
