Incredible Test & series win for India have not seen a bold, brave & boisterous Asian team on a tougher tour of Australia. No adversity could stop them, frontline players injured, & won after a remarkable turn around from the depths of 36 all out, inspiring for others.kudos India

To me Mohammad Amir retiring from Test cricket is a bit surprising because you peak at 27-28 and Test cricket is where you are judged against the best, it’s the ultimate format. Pakistan will need him in two Tests in Australia and then three in England.

It’s going to take more than 2 weeks to clean Karachi, but what a fantastic initiative by @AliHZaidiPTI . Karachi is home to so many, owned by very few, it’s about time we put some extra love in to this city and there is no better time than now #LetsCleanKHI #LoveKarachi
