He said in another tweet, “As far as your retirement plans are concerned, it will be difficult to start commenting in 2022, at which point you will be almost my age and talk about a career. I want to learn from you. Needless to say history is the best teacher for me, I would like to tell you that when I retired I was captain of the Pakistani team. ‘
