If one were to widely contemplate that the recent on-field scuffle between Mohammad Amir, Shahid Afridi (Galle Gladiators), and Naveen-ul-Haq (Kandy Tuskers) in the Lanka Premier League (LPL) is over, we could be heading on the wrong track as the altercation could have further got ignited with Naveen-ul-Haq hitting back at Shahid Afridi after the experienced Pakistani campaigner tried to teach a lesson or two on 'spirit of cricket' to the Afghanistan youngster.
Kandy Tuskers seamer Naveen-ul-Haq, seems to have not taken Afridi's advise in a sporting manner and instead decided to bring out his version of what triggered his altercation with Galle Gladiators cricketer Mohammed Amir in the LPL.

Naveen retorted to Galle Gladiators skipper Afridi's Spirit Of Cricket' tweet with a counter tweet, stating that he was ready to play the game by abiding to the laws of the sport and give respect to his opponents. However, if someone crossed the line and said something which not only hurt him but his fellow countrymen, it was not acceptable.
