Mohammad Amir’s wife, Narjis Amir, took an indirect dig at Lahore Qalandars captain, Shaheen Afridi, through a Twitter post on Tuesday.

Amir has recently been criticized for his over the top celebrations and general on-field behavior by former cricketers and fans on the internet.

Last week, Shaheen Afrid’s father in law, Shahid Afridi, had revealed that he had personally scolded Amir for his on-field behavior in the first two matches for Karachi Kings in HBL Pakistan Super League season eight.

“Whenever a player doesn't perform, or even if he does, I drop him a message for call him. Likewise, I messaged Amir yesterday. I talked to him respectfully, but I also scolded him. I told Amir, ‘what do you want?’ You have gained so much respect, you faced a blot on your reputation and from there, you made a return. You got a new life, in a way. What are you even trying to do?” Afridi said.

However, Narjis seems to believe that people are showing double standards as they are judging her husband’s celebrations and not criticizing Shaheen for showing similar sort of aggression.

Amir’s wife retweeted a picture, which shows both Amir and Shaheen celebrating a wicket, and wrote, 'This' as caption, hence endorsing the picture.

The text written on Shaheen's picture read 'If you celebrate, it is aggression', while the text written on Amir's picture read 'If I celebrate, it is called attitude'.

Regardless, Amir, seems to have paid no heed to Shahid Afridi’s advice as he made an obscene gesture during his team’s match against Lahore Qalandars on Sunday in Karachi.
