The tweet started a twitter debate as some called it ‘sexist’ and ‘discriminatory’. While some did support his suggestion of making the game more fast.
While clarifying his stance the former pacer tweeted that lesser overs means more competitive cricket, more audience and faster pace of the game.
He mentioned that he does not have prejudice and discrimination against women cricket.
