"Exposed Many Faces": Ex-Captain's Explosive Tweet As Pakistan Complete Series Turnaround

Former Pakistan cricket captain Mohammad Hafeez did not hold back his feelings as Pakistan completed a stunning comeback and sealed a 2-1 home series win against England. Pakistan rode on the performances of spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali -- two players who had been brought back into the side in the middle of the series -- to defeat England.
