Notably, India and Pakistan are all set to cross the swords in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 commencing on the 27^th of August later this month. Both teams will play against each other on the 28^th of August next Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. There came a major blow for the Pakistani team when star pacer Shaheen Afridi was ruled out of the tournament due to a knee injury.

Following the news, former Pakistani speedster Waqar Younis took to Twitter for mocking the Indian batters after the exclusion of Shaheen Afridi from the squad. Although, his tweet didn’t go down well with the former veteran Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan. He came up with a befitting reply to the Pakistani legend.
