Pakistan team mentor Matthew Hayden gave a throw challenge to fast bowlers Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Naseem Shah at the Gabba in Brisbane.

The rain interruption led to the abandonment of the warm-up match between Pakistan and. Afghanistan. Before the game, players and coaches were on the ground, and Hayden suddenly challenged Wasim to give him a hundred dollars if he threw the ball on the top tier of the stadium.

The 50-year-old also wanted Naseem Shah to participate in it, but Naseem Shah said no, coach, I am on your side.

This bet happened because of a funny conversation between Naseem Shah and Mohammad Wasim.

Naseem Shah challenged Mohammad Wasim that he could not throw the ball out of the stadium. Wasim felt confident and said I could throw the ball on top of the roof out of the stadium.

Matthew Hayden heard their conversation and said if Wasim throws it out of the stadium, I will give Naseem and Wasim a hundred dollars each.

Batting coach Mohammad Yousuf and bowling coach Shaun Tait were also there to enjoy this moment.

Later, Mohammad Wasim Jr failed to throw the ball out of the stadium and said it was a try ball, and I wanted another chance. Wasim will now give 100 $ each to Naseem and Hayden.
