Former Pakistan head coach and captain Waqar Younis got into some ‘twitter trouble’ on his tweet regarding the women’s cricket. His comment on the tournament’s format sent Twitter into a frenzy.

According to his tweet, the Women’s World Cup should be reduced to 30 overs, from its current 50-over format.
Discussion started on twitter, with some fans supporting the former cricketer and saying that the women’s cricket was “too boring to watch.” Others called out this tweet as discriminatory and said they expected better of him.
Former pacemaker finally took to Twitter again to clarify that his statement in no way meant any discrimination or prejudice towards women.
Lesser overs mean faster pace,, more audience,,competitive Cricket,,no discrimination or prejudice toward Women #AlwaysRespectWomen #WWCUP17 https://t.co/LHeSmK1k26
