Veteran Pakistan batsman Shoaib Malik has been playing international cricket for more than 20 years. He made his debut for Pakistan in 1999, against West Indies. The senior cricketer got a hilarious question asked by a journalist in the press conference after the first T20I against Bangladesh.

"Shoaib, you spoke about grooming youngsters in the team, which is the responsibility of a senior player. So, you are even more senior than your coach (Misbah-ul-Haq), will you groom him as well?" asked a reporter.

Malik, who scored an unbeaten half-century helping Pakistan beat Bangladesh on Friday, responded, "There is no one in the world who can say that he has learned everything. Sachin Tendulkar couldn't say that or other people couldn't say that they have learned anything.

"The learning process never ends. A lot of cricketers and coaches have come and gone, a lot happened but the learning process never stopped."

He said," We go after people very quickly. We want overnight results, which doesn't happen. We need to show some patience and if someone has got a chance then we must wait for a little. I understand, you guys want some masala, everyone wants masala but we need to think about the country as well sometimes," said the former Pakistan captain tackling the question.

Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq was appointed as head coach and the chief selector on a three-year contract last year in September.
