Pakistan's Imam-ul-Haq apologizes after being accused of having multiple affairs with women
Imam-ul-Haq had played in the recent World Cup, and was in the news last week after a Twitter user accused him of exploiting girls.
Imam-ul-Haq, Pakistan's opening batsman, was accused of having multiple affairs with women after a user had leaked chats of the cricketer with several girls. The opening batsman, on Tuesday, apologised and admitted his mistake to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
"Imam was remorseful and has apologised for what all has happened and admitted his mistake. He said the matter got out of hand due to a misunderstanding," geo.tv quoted PCB Managing Director, Wasim Khan as saying.
"But we told him in clear terms that, although this is his personal and private matter, we expect our players to adhere to the highest standards of ethics and discipline," he added.
He added and stated that the board takes these matters seriously as the contracted players are expected to be more responsible.
"We don't like to comment on personal affairs of a player but we expect that our centrally contracted players will also show more responsibility being ambassadors of Pakistan cricket and Pakistan," Khan said.
"Hopefully we will not see such incidents again," he added.
Imam had been caught in a controversy after a user leaked Whatsapp chats between him and many girls, and alleged that the cricketer had exploited them.
The nephew of legend Inzamam-ul-Haq, Imam was a member of the Pakistan team that played in the recent World Cup 2019. The team finished fifth and failed to qualify for the semis.
