Wasim Jaffer, who had announced his retirement from all forms of cricket earlier this month, currently seems to engage himself with Q&A sessions like other current or former cricketers. Meanwhile, all the sporting events have either been postponed or cancelled due to the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 that has spread its tentacles all over the world. At the same time, Jaffer also decided to turn an expert analyst on social media as he picked his all-time IPL team.
