West Indies batsman Chris Gayle exhibited his funny side, yet again, on Wednesday when he trolled Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad on Twitter after the latter was left out of the 35-man squad for the England tour.
Shehzad had earlier announced he would be conducting a Q and A session on Twitter, asking fans to use the hashtag #AskAhmad.
Why not playing for Pakistan? Too much selfie again? ? 🙁 #AskAhamad https://t.co/Mm9LYJZ1cO

Earlier this week, Inzamamul Haq, the Pakistan chief selector, dropped Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad on disciplinary grounds from the training camp ahead of the team’s tour of England.
Inzamam said that the duo lacked discipline. “Shehzad and Umar don’t have enough performances and lack discipline,” he said.
