Hafeez quits captaincy

Pakistan's Mohammad Hafeez stepped down as Twenty20 captain on Thursday after the team's failure to qualify for the semifinals of the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh.
Pakistan went out from the Super-10 stage after a disappointing 84-run defeat against the West Indies on Tuesday, failing to reach the last four for the first time in five editions of the tournament since its inception in 2007.
Hafeez said he accepted responsibility for the early exit.
"I accept all the responsibility of team's failure," Hafeez told reporters after a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) meeting in Lahore.
Hafeez led Pakistan to the semi-finals in the last World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka two years ago, shortly after taking over from Misbahul Haq.
