India is the 'laadla' of world cricket due to the amount of revenue they generate: Mohammad Hafeez

Former Pakistan skipper Mohammad Hafeez has said that team India and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), get 'pampered' in world cricket due to the amount of revenue they generate. 

The right-handed batter also stated that India is a revenue-making country and that is why they are loved by everyone. Hafeez made these comments while participating in a panel discussion for a local news channel. 

The earner gets the most kisses from everyone: Mohammad Hafeez 

"I don't know a lot, but I definitely know that in our society, whoever is the earner is loved by everyone, is the most laadla (pampered), gets the most kisses from everyone," he said in a video posted on his official Twitter handle. "India is a revenue-making country. So even in bilateral series across the world, where they get sponsorship, they get a jackpot, it's hard to deny these things."

After being asked by the anchor if India are 'laadlas' because they play so well or because they make more money, the former Pakistani skipper said it is due to the the latter factor.

To note, Hafeez recently received a lot of criticism from Indian fans after he made some comments on the current Indian skipper Rohit Sharma.

"You see Rohit Sharma's expression after winning the match. This expression happened after India won by 40 runs. I had talked about Rohit Sharma's body language, when he came out to toss, he looked weak, he seemed afraid and confused. I am not being able to see Rohit Sharma, whom I have observed during matches playing incredible innings. I think captaincy is putting a lot of pressure on Rohit. He is facing a lot of difficulties," Hafeez had said.

Meanwhile, India will take on Pakistan in their first Super 4 match of the 2022 T20 Asia Cup, on September 4 (Sunday) in Dubai.
