He also congratulated the Afghan team on their victory, saying they played the best cricket. He specifically praised Rashid Khan, who was as brilliant, for his excellent performance throughout the series.

The 46-year-old also commended the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for giving opportunities to new players. However, he suggested that instead of benching senior players, they should have played alongside the young players.

"Well played Afghanistan congrats on the win, and Rashid Khan you were amazing as always. Good move my the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)  to believe in the upcoming talent but they should have been accompanied by senior players to transfer on field experience and not sit on the bench," he said. 

Well played @ACBofficials congrats on the win, and @rashidkhan_19 you were amazing as always. Good move my @TheRealPCB to believe in the upcoming talent but they should have been accompanied by senior players to transfer on field experience and not sit on the bench #PakvsAfg
