Malik and Raja engage in war of words after retirement remark

A war of words has broken out between former Pakistan captain-turned-commentator Ramiz Raja and veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik after the former called for senior players to retire gracefully from international cricket.

Malik and Mohammad Hafeez apparently took offence to a recent interview where Ramiz advised the two senior cricketers to retire gracefully for International cricket.

While Hafeez decided to keep his calm, Malik came out with a sarcastic tweet, tagging Ramiz and Hafeez.

"Yes Ramiz Raja bhai agreed. Since all three of us are the end of our careers let's retire gracefully togetherI call and let's plan this for 2022?," Malik wrote in his twitter handle.

The sarcasm wasn't lost on Ramiz, who hit back in his tweets:
"Would be tough to start commentating in 2022 as that would make you my age almost And talking of careers , don't need a tutorial from u of all the ppl as history, which is a great teacher, would tell u that I retired while I was Captain of Pak team."
