He wants everyone to become a brand, but it is more important to be a human being first. First be a human being and then a brand. Our former cricketers keep on letting down our cricket brand by making misleading statements. But you will never see this in our neighboring country. You will never see Sunil Gavaskar criticizing Rahul Dravid Will not see. This happens only in Pakistan, where ex-players don't let others do their job professionally." Rameez Raja spoke on Bol News.
