Pakistani cricket fans still haven’t gotten over the embarrassing defeat against India the other day, with the team being heavily criticised for their poor performance. Amongst others, Shoaib Malik has been facing the brunt of it lately when a video of him and his wife Sania Mirza sitting at a restaurant with a group of friends who were smoking sheesha made rounds on social media.
Upon noticing the video, Mirza expressed how the video breached their privacy as it was recorded without their consent, and pointed out that the players and their families are allowed to eat out regardless of their performance.

What should’ve been the end of it, apparently turned into a huge social media brawl when Veena Malik piped in. The TV personality schooled Mirza in a civil manner over how hazardous sheesha cafes are for children. She also pointed out how junk food isn’t exactly suitable for the team, especially before a big match.
Sania, I am actually so worried for the kid. You guys took him to a sheesha place isn't it Hazardious? Also as far as I know Archie's is all about junk food which isn't good for athletes/Boys. You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself? https://t.co/RRhaDfggus

Responding to Malik’s tweet, the tennis star refuted the allegation of taking her son to a sheesha bar and told Malik to mind her business. She also mentioned how she isn’t responsible for the team’s behaviour, as she is not their dietician nor their parental figure.
Veena,I hav not taken my kid to a sheesha place. Not that it’s any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care bout my son a lot more than anyone else does 🙂 secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher https://t.co/R4lXSm794B

Malik then brought up how she herself is an athlete and should be taking care of her husband’s wellbeing.
Great to hear that u didn't took ur kid their. Oh did I mentioned you are a dietician or mother of the Pak team? I said u are an athlete and u must know how much fitness is important for athletes.Also aren't u a wife of cricketer? U should take care of his wellbeing.Isn't it? https://t.co/zZKS3r0xSk

Soon after, Malik shared a deleted tweet of Mirza’s, where she mentioned Malik’s magazine cover by calling it ‘not so decent’. Mirza also added how she should be more concerned about her kids laying their eyes on her topless photoshoot. Malik also revealed how Mirza had blocked her on Twitter, and the said magazine cover had morphed images of her.
Okay so this Happened. First, she tweeted then deleted that tweet right away and blocked me. I mentioned my concerns in a very civilised, calm & composed manner. It could have been a healthy debate. pic.twitter.com/aw6C36xI3o

Dearest Bhabhi,
Attacking someone personally and reaching new heights of being low will not take you anywhere.
Love,
Veena Malik. https://t.co/eaB1ua1ZPR— VEENA MALIK (@iVeenaKhan) June 17, 2019
Mirza, on the other hand, tried to brush it all away by announcing a break.

Nevertheless, cricket matches between the two countries always end up bringing something interesting to the table.
