"I am really good friends with Wasim bhai, he has always been an elder brother," Waqar said. "He has always supported and helped me on the field, off the field. Yeah, we had issues. He didn't only have issues with me but we had issues in the team those days, which yes, if you ask me the truth, yes I do regret at times because you know it did not really help Pakistan cricket.
"But then again if you look at it, we had issues off the field but when we walked on to the field it was different ball game altogether. We wanted to compete [with] each other, we wanted to take more wickets than the other one and I think in a way, it did help. But yeah, if you ask me that particular episode, yes, we all regret it because it shouldn't have happened. It was ugly those days but those days we were younger and we didn't know much, now [we are] probably wiser and we want to improve things. Yeah, you can say that it was a regret."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Competitive rivalry is always going to be an issue in sport and especially with two competitors such as these two. In fact, I think that if players didn't form certain rivalries with each other then the sport wouldn't be as popular as it and people actually enjoy the fact that players fall out.
Looking back when the players have long stopped playing they usually do end up good friends, and I think that just shows that the rivalry stems from hat happens on the field rather than what goes on off it. It's not personal but just business...
