Acknowledging the passion of the former all-rounder, the PCB said, "Hafeez's passion for the game has inspired players, and his mentorship during the tour of Australia and New Zealand has been of immense importance."

Earlier in November, the PCB had appointed Hafeez as the team director following the World Cup failure in India.

The PCB had announced on X that it had changed the portfolio of the Pakistan coaching staff. "All coaches will continue to work in National Cricket Academy while PCB will announce the new coaching staff in due course for the upcoming series in Australia and New Zealand," the PCB statement said.

However, while spearheading Pakistan for their tour to Oceania [Australia and New Zealand], things went not in the team's favour and pressure went high on the veteran all-rounder to think about resignation.

Mohammad Hafeez had represented Pakistan in 55 Tests, 218 ODIs, and 119 T20s.

He was also elected as a member of the technical committee.
