Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist has praised Pakistani cricketers for something not often discussed on cricket shows or post-match presentations: their hair.

 

Speaking on the podcast "Club Prairie Fire" with former England captain Michael Vaughan, Gilchrist said that Pakistani players have always had the best hair in cricket history.

 

"I mean this with the utmost respect. The Pakistan players, in a general statement, have the best hair. Beautiful hair. They clearly shampoo and condition," Gilchrist said.

 

 

The conversation took a more humorous turn when Vaughan shared a personal memory involving former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, recalling his days in the commentary box. "I stroke Ramiz's hair... it's a thing of beauty. Soft. Very soft."

 

When asked if Ramiz was okay with it, Vaughan added, "Yeah, he didn't mind. He gets the old stroke."

 

The discussion started during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, where English batter James Vince was at the centre of an amusing incident. After scoring a century, Vince was named Player of the Match, but instead of receiving a trophy or cash prize, he was given a hair dryer by his coach inside the team dressing room.

 

"I remember the first time ever a hair dryer for a player," Gilchrist laughed, recalling the incident. "What happens if he's bald? Might blow it away."

 

Gilchrist and Vaughan joked about what might be the next unusual prize, wondering if it would be curling tongs.
