Former Australian cricketer Ian Chappell recently criticized Pakistan cricket team after they were whitewashed 0-3 by Australia in the Test series, by saying that Cricket Australia(CA) should think twice before inviting Pakistan for another tour Down Under.
These comments have caused a huge backlash in Pakistan with Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq slamming Chappell's remarks as “irresponsible and useless”. Now, after Pakistan beat Australia in the second ODI by 6 wickets to level the five-match series 1-1, star all-rounder Shahid Afridi has pounced on the opportunity to hit back at Chappell.
Shabash Pakistan, great captaincy and inns Hafeez, Well done JK, Malik, Did you watch Ian Chappell? 😊

Earlier, former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar had also tweeted a reply to the former Aussie captain's criticism by comparing themselves to England leaving his fans confused about the tweet.
Pak lacked grit: Chappell. I agree but not comin 2 Australia no remedy. England never won World Cup but doesn't mean dey shudn't participate

The third ODI between Pakistan and Australia will be played on Thursday at Perth.
