[BouncerGuy]

This gesture by the Captain of the Pakistan team, Shan Masood, shows a deep respect for one of the ATGs of the game. Gifting Babar Azam’s signed playing top to David Warner as a token of appreciation and sportsmanship. Farewell David Warner

Good gesture. I dont mind this, as it happened after the series ended.

The christmas gifts were abit over the top though.

I remember when Salman Butt and Co gave a shirt to Rudi Koertzen when he retired

Good gesture from Pakistan.

Usually the captain give his own shirt signed by all the team, but good from Shan Masood who doesnt have an ego.

I dont mind this.

Babar Azam is such a legend? Why not just all Team Members signing on a PCB shirt and giving to David. It's like making a legend of a Cricketer like Babar whose above everyone else in Pakistan, which clearly he isn't .

Guess the spirit of cricket is important and once the game is done, this is fine.

Its a tradition. The tradition is the captain gets all the players to sign his shirt and than present it to the retiring player or official. Shan Masood being humble, probably felt he wasnt of that stature and because Babar recently resigned as captain and is the face of Pakistan cricket nowadays, thus he got the team to sign on his shirt and present it to Warner.

Salman Butt got his shirt signed and had it presented to Rudi Koertzen, does that make Salman Butt a legend?

Same thoughts lol It is odd.

I thought they might have given him a Mohammad Hafeez shirt with just the professors signature on it
