The Pakistan-born cricketer also urged the ticketing board not to comment on the 33-year-old hitter’s form.
“I don’t think I’m knowledgeable or experienced enough to give advice to a guy who has made over 20,000 journeys in his career. What do I tell him? I can’t tell him anything. . If something goes wrong, I can shut up and also calculate everyone” to do the same and let the guy live in peace. Just leave him alone and hope he finds his feet soon,” he added.
