"What he has done is in the law. I think if he thinks it's right, it's right, but from my perspective, I would have done it differently. I would have gone for sportsman's spirit. We haven't done this type of thing previously, we would never do that in the future as well," Agha stated.

It was just heat-of-the-moment kind of stuff: Salman Agha
Salman Agha also mentioned that he doesnt remember what he said to the bowler since it was a heat-of-the-moment stuff and he was extremely frustrated at that moment. He kept on mummbling things before going back to the pavilion.
"It was just heat-of-the-moment kind of stuff. If you ask me what I would have done, I would have done things differently. But it was everything, whatever happened after that, it was in the moment," said Agha.
"I can't remember what I was saying, and I can't remember what he was saying. I'm sure I wasn't saying nice things, and I'm sure he wasn't saying nice stuff as well. But it was just the heat of the moment, so we are fine."
