You really need to stop speaking about other countries like you know, because you do not and you just end up sounding more stupid than you actually portray yourself.
Kahwaja and Fawad Ahmed did not even have to speak out and were ridiculed in the media and every other avenue. The case of AB was again proven to be one of him not demanding to come back, but CSA asking him.
Players speak out all the time in other countries, the difference is that those team and administration actually know what they are doing. Zim's just thinks that they are the bees knees and carries on like some sort of King, when the reality is that it is not.

I'm convinced that if given an option between seeing Zimbabwe succeed, or boosting their ego, Mukhulani, the board and the selectors would use a hacksaw to cut their foot off it it meant the latter.

ALL-ROUNDER Sikandar Raza, who was omitted from Zimbabwe’s tours to Bangladesh as well as Singapore is said to have refused to play under retiring skipper Hamilton Masakadza, leading to the player being dropped from the squad for the two tours.
Raza was a notable absentee from the Chevrons squad for the two tours, with Zimbabwe Cricket announcing that he had been omitted over pending disciplinary issues raised by the captain. It has since been established that Raza approached a member of the Chevrons technical staff as the team was preparing for the trip to Bangladesh and told them that he was not willing to play for as long as Masakadza was captain, which left selectors with no choice but to leave the player out of the two tours. A trustworthy source indicated that Raza has ambitions of being captain and was frustrated that ZC continued to back Masakadza.
“Raza approached one of the coaches and said he was not going to play as long as Hamilton Masakadza was captain because he had lost confidence in him, the selectors thus had no choice but to leave Raza out of the team,’’ said our source.
Masakadza will lead the Chevrons in the triangular Twent20 series against Bangladesh and Afghanistan, which starts on Friday in what will be his last involvement in cricket as a player. Sean Williams has been appointed captain of a fairly young Zimbabwean team that is heading off to Singapore from Bangladesh. In Singapore, Zimbabwe are playing in tri-series with Nepal and the host nation.

This arrogant Pakistai must go back home. He is unfit to don Zimbabwe colours.
Imagine Tahir behaving like this in SA, or Khawaja/Fawad Ahmed behaving like this in Australia. The fans, media and former players would crucify them!
Even KP who is white and effectively European, but born in Africa, was not spared for mere idle talk and banter which leaked. Heck even the great AB is widely despised in SA now for such arrogance.
This guy is overprivileged and entitled. The Taibus, Hamis, Eltons, Utseyas and Matsis were slaying much greater bowlers and winning long before he arrived in Zimbabwe, and it will continue to be the case long after he leaves.
And let no one tell me they would tolerate such talk from a naturalised player, whatever the reason, because that would be a lie!
The mere fact that ZC have stood by Hami simply sends one message to Raza - If he is really principled then he must leave for good and not wait for Hami's absence in the next tour!
He was suspended before for ignoring a NOC, and now this. Plus insulted the same ICC he went to beg to expecting them to even listen to him. This man is a problem, and it's embarassing to think he was ever given the honour to captain the side.
You tolerate nonsense in Zimbabwe!
