Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and current limited overs vice-captain Shadab Khan were involved in a heart-warming Twitter exchange over the bowling action of Sarfaraz’s son, Abdullah.

Abdullah, 5, can be seen bowling to his father, Sarfaraz Ahmed, at the National Stadium, where he is emulating Shadab's action. The wicketkeeper-batter referred to Shadab and said to check it.

Shadab gave a cheeky response to his former captain and wrote, "Abdullah first took my place in Saifi Bhai's heart, now he will take my place in the Pakistani team."

On Shadab's reaction, Sarfaraz wrote in reply that this will not happen, you and Abdullah both came together in the heart and will always remain.

Shadab concluded the exchange by expressing his respect for Sarfaraz and thanking him for everything.
