Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on Monday reminded Shoaib Akhtar how he would warn batsmen while checking on them after nasty bouncers following the ex-Pakistan pacer's criticism of Jofra Archer's conduct in the Ashes.
Akhtar on Sunday slammed Archer for not showing the basic courtesy of checking on Smith after the Australian batsman was felled on the ground by his nasty bouncer during the second Ashes Test in London.
"Bouncers are a part & parcel of the game but whenever a bowler hits a batsman on the head and he falls, courtesy requires that the bowler must go & check on him. It was not nice of Archer to just walk away while Smith was in pain. I was always the first one to run to the batsman," Akhtar tweeted.
In response, Yuvraj wrote, "Yes you did! But your actual words were hope you're alright mate because there are a few more coming."
