Naveen ul Haq who was recently in the news for a sledging incident with RCB batter Virat Kohli opened up about sledging and shared a hilarious incident from a first-class game.

The pacers picked up chits and asked each other the question mentioned on them. When asked about sledging, Naveen stated that he does not sledge anyone upfront and added that it is not his habit. Sharing an incident, the Afghan bowler said that in a first-class game, he was on the non-striker’s end and the batter on strike got sledged. The fielder on the silly point was newly married and was asking the bowler to finish the game quickly as he had some unfinished work at home.
