The late Pakistan cricket team head coach and captain Waqar Younus fell into some ‘Twitter trouble’ on his tweet concerning Women’s cricket. His comment on the tournament’s format sent Twitter into a turmoil.
Waqar Younis’s Statement on Women’s Cricket
In accordance to his tweet, women cricket matches should be reduced to 30 overs from 50 overs arrangement.
