At least his Twitter account's grammar and spelling suggests that he maintains his own Twitter account (or is it deliberate?) - can't say the same for some of the other players. Congrats on the baby.
many congrates to you and your family.. good wishes for little angel.
congratulation on this event
Many many congrats to you n your family.
May you now become a careful and responsible as a batsman. It is not gully-mohallah team, it is our Pakistan team Mr. Akmal. You have already wasted 6 years of your precious time since making a debut in 2009.
Congrats on becoming father.
