Former Pakistan cricketer turned commentator Ramiz Raja and veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik were involved in a battle of the world after the former advised the two senior cricketers Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik to retire gracefully from international cricket.

While Hafeez kept quiet, Malik, on the other hand, came out with a sarcastic tweet that read, “Yes @iramizraja bhai agreed. Since all 3 of us are the end of our careers let’s retire gracefully together - I’ll call and let’s plan this for 2022? @MHafeez22 #joke

Have a look at Shoaib Malik’s Tweet:

Yes @iramizraja bhai agreed. Since all 3 of us are the end of our careers let’s retire gracefully together - I’ll call and let’s plan this for 2022? ???? @MHafeez22 #jokes https://t.co/vTwf9zzYOC
