Cricketer embroiled in controversies, Imam-ul-Haq, who is also the nephew of former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, has apologised for the scandal that has broken out, involving him and several women.


The Pakistan opener, whose place in the side has always been under scanner for allegedly being a product of nepotism, found himself in trouble when a few women posted screenshots of his objectionable WhatsApp conversations with them and accused him of misleading them.


"Imam was remorseful and has apologised for what all has happened. But we have told him in clear terms although this is his personal and private matter but we expect our players to adhere to the highest standards of ethics and discipline," PCB MD Wasim Khan said on Monday.


Wasim said the board had viewed the matter seriously and spoken to Imam about it.

"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. Hopefully we will not see such incidents again."

Pakistan batsman Imam-ul-Haq had earlier landed in controversy after a slew of leaked messages were out on social media allegedly of him having multiple affairs and cheating on girls.

According to reports, a Twitter user has leaked some WhatApp chats and accused Imam of exploiting women.

Imam's WhatsApp chats with four women has been leaked on social media.

Imam was an integral part of Pakistan's World Cup campaign and scored a 100 against Bangladesh at Lord's helping his team win by 94 runs. But Pakistan, in the end, fell short on Net Run Rate and could not make the semi-finals finishing fifth behind eventual runners-up New Zealand.
