Pakistan's former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed on Wednesday posted a  cryptic tweet which seems to be a response to the wave of criticism he faced after a failed stumping attempt during the third T20I match against England on Tuesday. 

Sarfaraz, who made his national return after 11 months, was unable to capitalise an an opportunity to dismiss England's Moeen Ali, with the ball seemingly getting stuck in his gloves, giving the English leftie ample time to get back in the crease.

The English batsman was at seven runs when the mishap occurred as Moeen almost managed to take the match away from the Men in Green before he was eventually dismissed by fast bowler Wahab Riaz. The leftie, between Sarfaraz's mistake and his eventual dismissal, managed to pile up another whirlwind of a 54 runs. 

Fans, however, did not take the error lightly and went off on Sarfaraz on social media. 

While the Men in Green did take a series-leveling win, it appears that the 33-year-old supposedly responded to critics.  

It is pertinent to mention that there was no confirmation from the cricketer whether the tweet was attributed to the particular event.
