It has almost become a ritual now. Every other night as I am lying on the couch in front of the television after a long day, chips crumbs on my shirt and a diet coke in my hand, I come across your scowling face on the screen.

And there you are, attacking the Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq as you have been for the last few years.

Mr Yousuf, as a former Pakistani batsman who has represented the nation in 90 test matches with a glorious record, you have every right to criticise the skipper, but your attacks are growing more and more personal by the day.

Your criticism is having the opposite effect – people are now starting to ask questions about you.

Your most recent criticism of the man is that he isn’t batting at the crucial no.3 position, and that he ‘lacks the heart and courage to inspire the team.’

Mr Yousuf, as a resident of Pakistan, I am sure you have faced the frustration of your home being deprived of electricity. I am also sure that to make do you have installed a UPS with a battery so that the essentials such as the ceiling fans and lights are still operational in the case of a blackout.
